Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of head to head poly vinyl bromide should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers:

Monomers combine together to form polymers.  Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization

Two types of polymers:

  • Synthetic and biopolymers.
  • DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
  • Polymers synthesized by scientists are called synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.

Two types of synthetic polymers:

  • Chain-growth polymers or addition polymers and Step-growth polymers or Condensation polymers.
  • Chain growth polymers are formed by the monomer addition to the end of a growing chain.
  • Step-growth polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.

Copolymers:

  • Polymers formed from two or more different monomers are called copolymers.
  • Classified into alternating copolymer, block copolymer, graft copolymer and also random copolymer.

please help and the percent recovery of clove oil from cloves is 4.61% and i have attached my ir spectrum as well. Based on your GC data, how many components are in the clove oil? Calculate the percentage of each component. Clearly show your work. Which of the components corresponds to eugenol? How do you know? Is eugenol the major component?
please help and i am so confused if the picture is the gc data or ir spectrum. you dont have to do everything just what you can please because i am lost and the mass of the cloves was Mass of cloves 62.299g. Mass of recovered clove oil 62.761g.
Which compound would you expect to have a higher decomposition temperature,Na2CO3 or Cs2CO3? Justify your answer, but you do not need to do any calculations.
