The monomer of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has the formula C,H,CI. (CI =35.45 g/mol). If there are
1565 repeat units in a single chain of the polymer, what is the molecular mass (in amu) of that
chain?
Use an example to show how branching and cross linking can affect the physical behavior of a polymer.
The structure shown is an example of a type of macromolecule (carbohydrate, lipid, protein, or nucleic acid) that is an important biological polymer.
Identify the type of macromolecule shown, the type of monomer it is made from, how you came to your conclusion and the general types of important biological functions of this type of
