Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Differentiation in the structure of PVC from polyethylene and list the uses of polyethylene.
Concept Introduction:
PVC is the abbreviation of Polyvinyl chloride. It is a
Polyethylene more commonly known as polythene is widely used for plastic bags, plastic films etc.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Solution:
The difference in the structure is as shown below:
The main uses of polyethylene are packaging of food, storage of water, household containers etc.
Explanation of Solution
Polyethene is made of monomer ethylene, a chain of carbon atoms where a carbon atom is attached to another carbon atom, whereas PVC is made of monomer vinyl chloride, a chain of carbon atoms where one carbon atom in each repeated until it is attached to the chlorine atom.
The monomer of polyethylene is ethylene molecule and that of polyvinylchloride is vinyl chloride molecule.
Structure of both the
The uses of polyethylene are as below:
- Food packaging
- Water bottles
- Shopping bags
- Packaging films and film wraps
- Chemical and household containers
- Plumbing pipes and tubes
- Construction materials
Conclusion
Thus, the difference in the structure is as shown below:
The main uses of polyethylene are packaging of food, storage of water, household containers etc.
