(a)
Interpretation:
The structure formula for portion of polymer obtained from orthophthalic acidand glycerol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A polymer is a long chain molecule made of large number of monomer units. The monomer is repeating units of a polymer that are linked to each other to produce a molecule of polymer.
These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage or glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule.
Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the example of
(b)
Interpretation:
The cross-linking between the chains of polymer to form a covalent solid need to be explained.

These resins are organic polymeric networks that contain functional groups that are permanently attached to the resin. One such functional group is sulfonic acid, -SO3H. When placed in water, the resin (being a large organic molecule) will not dissolve. However, the ionic functional groups become hydrated and the resin will swell as it takes up waters of hydration. The resin may then be thought of as a solid solution mixture with the functional groups being "dissolved" but the polymer remaining as a solid. The hydronium ion (H3O+) associated with acidic functional groups like sulfonic acid will dissociate just as it would if the acid were free of the resin. If other cations such as Cu2+ or Na+ are added to the resin, an ion-exchange reaction can occur: . Note that one H+ is released for each positive charge bound to the resin. Since the resin exchanges a hydrogen ion for a sodium ion in this reaction, sulfonic acid resins are called cation-exchange resins. Equilibrium constants may…arrow_forward
