### Laboratory Exercise: Polymer Chemistry#### Problem 1:You synthesized a Teflon polymer in the laboratory and estimate its weight at \(202,240 \text{g/mol}\). Calculate your polymer's degree of polymerization (show your work and round the answer to the nearest whole number).#### Problem 2:Name the probable monomers for the following polymer. **Note: Please show all calculations clearly and identify the chemical structure of the monomers based on your understanding of polymer chemistry.**### Detailed Explanation:**1. Calculating the Degree of Polymerization:**- **Degree of Polymerization (n):** It is the number of repeating units (monomers) in a polymer.- **Formula Weight of Teflon (PTFE) Monomer \[ - (C_2F_4) - \]:** The molecular weight for the monomer unit, \[ \text{C}_{2}\text{F}_{4} \], is calculated based on the atomic masses of Carbon (C) and Fluorine (F): - **Carbon (C):** 12.01 g/mol - **Fluorine (F):** 19.00 g/mol\[ \text{Monomer weight calculation:} \] \[ 2 \times 12.01 \text{g/mol (C)} + 4 \times 19.00 \text{g/mol (F)} = 24.02 \text{g/mol} + 76.00 \text{g/mol} = 100.02 \text{g/mol} \]Therefore, the monomer unit weight for Teflon (PTFE) is approximately \[ 100 \text{g/mol} \].- To find the Degree of Polymerization (n), use the following formula:\[ n = \frac{\text{Polymer Molecular Weight}}{\text{Monomer Unit Weight}} \]So,\[ n = \frac{202,240 \text{g/mol}}{100 \text{g/mol}} = 2022.4 \] Rounding to the nearest whole number gives:\[ \boxed{2022} \]**2. Probable Monomers for a Given Polymer:**- To identify the monomers, consider the structure and composition of the repeating unit in the polymer chain. The illustration or details should guide which functional groups and elements appear regularly

5.2 A batch of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, is made by reacting butylene glycol (also known as 1,4-butane diol) with terephthalic acid, see example 2.4C. A total of 5 moles of polymer is made. The mixture contains 1.06 moles with a molecular weight of 207,900, 0.65 moles with a molecular weight of 210,100, 0.54 moles with a molecular weight of 211,420, 1.13 moles with a molecular weight of 212,080, 0.77 moles with a molecular weight of 215,160, and 0.85 moles with a molecular weight of 480,920. (Note: the above means that there are 1.06 moles of chains that have the same degree of polymerization to give the MW of 207,900, and similar for each of the other entries)

2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is 2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.
