The structure of the polycarbonate chain formed by the given reaction is to be drawn and whether it is formed by addition or condensation polymerization is to be stated. Concept introduction: The polymers (repeating structural units) are derived from the simple and reactive molecules, called as monomers. Depending upon the mode of polymerization, polymerization mainly occurs by addition and condensation polymerization reactions. Copolymers are formed when two or more different monomers condensed together in a polymerization reaction. To determine: The structure of polycarbonate formed by the reaction between bisphenol A and phosgene.

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.

What is the pH of a solution made by adding 10-2 M sodium benzoate (C6H5COONa) to pure
water, taking into account nonideal solute behavior? Benzoate is the conjugate base of
benzoic acid (Ka = 6.25×10-5), a common preservative added to food and beverages.
