Interpretation : To know how water is involved in
Concept Introduction :
A polymer is a material whose molecular structure is composed primarily or entirely of many connected units of a similar nature.
Answer to Problem 29LC
Water is generally formed when two monomers combine in condensation
Explanation of Solution
Condensation polymerization is a process that is used for combining smaller molecules to form a bigger product. During this polymerization process water will be given out as a byproduct. Two monomers will combine with the elimination of the water molecule to form the condensation
In the above example, the hydrogen from the ethane
During condensation polymerization, covalent bonds of the two monomers will be combined together to form polymers. During this process water molecule is eliminated; therefore, water is given as a byproduct during the bond formation of polymers.
