Chapter 23, Problem 83GQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation has to be written for the formation of Polystyrene from styrene

Concept Introduction:

The polymerisation reaction of styrene monomer unit gives polystyrene. The polystyrene is an addition polymer during polymerisation its monomer units combine directly.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation has to be written for the formation of PET from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

Concept Introduction:

However, PET is a condensation polymer, there is loss of a water molecule occur during synthesis of PET. The full name of PET is polyethylene terephthalate, its an ester containg polymer. The monomer units are ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

4. a) Give a suitable rationale for the following cyclization, stating the type of process involved (e.g. 9-endo-dig), clearly showing the mechanistic details at each step. H CO₂Me 1) NaOMe 2) H3O® CO₂Me
2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.
Chem 141, Dr. Haefner 2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-) and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
