  General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry, Chapter 17, Problem 17.102P

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are macromolecules which are composed of a large number of small repeating units. These repeating units are known as monomers and the process of formation of polymers from monomer units is known as polymerization.

On the basis of type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of alkene leads to formation of polyalkenes.

Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. These polymerizations occur with elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2 etc.

Carboxylic acids can also react with amides to give polyamides (polymers). The same is true with esters and alcohols. Read on lactomer and how it is used for stitches that can dissolve overtime. Why do lactomer stitches dissolve within 2 to 3 weeks following surgery? Refer to the photo below.
In a 0.28 mM aqueous solution of trimethylacetic acid (C4H9CO2H), what is the percentage of trimethylacetic acid that is dissociated?
True or false   The hydroxyl group found in an organic compound is responsible for its basicity.   Aromatic hydrocarbons are considered polar and has high affinity to water.   Acidic drugs are a class of chemical compounds that normally have high hydrophilicity and negative charges.   Amino groups attached to hydrocarbons are considered polar which may be responsible for its solubility.   Lipophilic drugs have a faster rate of absorption than hydrophilic drugs.
