Identify the repeating unit in the polymer formed from the following reaction sequence. C=C-O-C=O ---->1] Benzoyl peroxide 2] NaOH, H2O, heat | C *The hanging carbon is attached to carbon above it, with the oxygen double bond. I know that the answer should be a repeating sequence of two carbons with an -OH hanging off them but i dont follow the mechanism. Sorry for the confusing molecule structure, there isnt a good way to draw on this platform.
