Interpretation:
The single product formed when PHB is hydrolyzed with acid and water should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
On the basis of type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. These polymerizations occur with elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2 etc.

- Ester compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these ester compounds are shown here: Alcohols for Air Freshener Project Molar mass Density Cost, per (g/mL) Reagent (g/mol) 1.00 L methanol 32.04 0.79 $46.20 ethanol 46.07 0.79 $112.00 1-propanol 60.10 0.80 $72.70 1-butanol 74.12 0.81 $72.60 Use the structural formulas of the alcohols and…arrow_forwardwrite the esterification reaction of lauric acid with ethanolarrow_forwardAmines with more than 6 carbons are soluble in: a) aqueous HCI b) aqueous NaHCO3 d) water c) aqueous NaOH Which of the following would give a positive iodoform test? acetone a) benzophenone c) 3-pentanone d) cyclopentanone meth "Saponification" as the term is used in organic chemistry means: a) acidic hydrolysis of an ester b) basic hydrolysis of an ester c) acidic hydrolysis of an amide d) basic hydrolysis of an amide 3.
