Answer to Problem 25LC
Condensation
Explanation of Solution
The above reaction is an example of a condensation reaction. This reaction is also called esterification. The acid and the alcohol are made to react with each other to form an ester which is a larger molecule by releasing water. The ester formed here is a condensation polymer.
Another example is
The polyester that is formed here is a condensation polymer that is formed by the reaction of dibasic acid and glycol.
Condensation polymerization that results in the formation of the condensation polymer is a step-growth polymerization. Many condensation polymers are used as fibers and thus, it is important to produce condensation polymers.
