### 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
