Chapter 23, Problem 83GQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation has to be written for the formation of Polystyrene from styrene

Concept Introduction:

The polymerisation reaction of styrene monomer unit gives polystyrene. The polystyrene is an addition polymer during polymerisation its monomer units combine directly.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation has to be written for the formation of PET from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

Concept Introduction:

However, PET is a condensation polymer, there is loss of a water molecule occur during synthesis of PET. The full name of PET is polyethylene terephthalate, its an ester containg polymer. The monomer units are ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
