Interpretation:
The single product formed when PHB is hydrolyzed with acid and water should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
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
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some

- Proteins are long chains of repeating amino acids connected by peptide bonds. The reverse reaction of peptide bond formation is the hydrolysis of an amide. Peptide bonds are A) very reactive with water B) unreactive with water but easily hydrolyzed under acidic conditions C) unreactive with water but easily hydrolyzed under basic conditions D) unreactive with water and only slightly reactive to hydrolysis under acidic conditions +arrow_forwardEster compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these ester compounds are shown here: Alcohols for Air Freshener Project Molar mass Density Cost, per (g/mL) Reagent (g/mol) 1.00 L methanol 32.04 0.79 $46.20 ethanol 46.07 0.79 $112.00 1-propanol 60.10 0.80 $72.70 1-butanol 74.12 0.81 $72.60 Use the structural formulas of the alcohols and…arrow_forwardwrite the esterification reaction of lauric acid with ethanolarrow_forward
