(a)
Interpretation : The condensed structural formula for the product of reaction between terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol in the 1:1 ratio needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
(b)
Interpretation : The condensed structural formula for the product of reaction between the product in part (a) and 1 mol of ethylene glycol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Polymers are formed by polymerisation of certain monomer units. Based on type of chemical reaction, polymerisation can be two types; condensation polymerisation and addition polymerisation. Addition polymerisation occurs between unsaturated monomer units whereas condensation polymerisation occurs with elimination of water molecule as by-product between two functional groups. PETE is an example of condensation polymer.
(c)
Interpretation : The mass of PETE recycled in one year needs to be determined.

Basic Chemistry
- 1) The isoamyl acetate report requires eight paragraphs - four for comparison of isoamyl alcohol and isoamyl acetate (one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR) and four for comparison of acetic acid and isoamyl acetate ((one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR. 2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too. 3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of…arrow_forward№3 Fill in the below boxes. HN 1. LAH 2.
