- (a) Draw the structure of polystyrene, which is formed by polymerizing the monomer styrene, C6H5CH=CH2.arrow_forwardA polymer closely related to PET is PBT, which is made from terephthalic acid and butane-1,4-diol.(a) Propose a structure for PBT and write the condensed formula for the structure.(b) What does PBT stand for? That is, what do you expect the trivial name of PBT to be?(c) Would you expect PBT to have a higher or lower melting point than PET? Justify your answer.(d) PBT, rather than PET, is used in molding because it crystallizes faster. Explain why PBT crystallizes more quickly than PET.arrow_forwardMTBE, Methyl tert-butyl ether, CH3OC(CH3)3, is used as an oxygen source in oxygenated gasolines.
