(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are examples of addition polymers. These polymers are made, when some alkenes undergo chain growth polymerization by some initiator.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation to predict that the poly (vinyl acetate) is polyester as vinyl acetate is an ester is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are examples of addition polymers. These polymers are made, when some alkenes undergo chain growth polymerization by some initiator.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation corresponding to the given statement that hydrolysis does not destroy the poly (vinyl alcohol) polymer is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are examples of addition polymers. These polymers are made, when some alkenes undergo chain growth polymerization by some initiator.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation corresponding to the given statement that the poly (vinyl alcohol) is made by given circuitous route rather than the polymerisation of vinyl alcohol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are examples of addition polymers. The poly (vinyl acetate) is converted to poly (vinyl alcohol) by a basic hydrolysis of the ester groups.

3) Determine if the pairs are constitutional isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, or mesocompounds. (4 points)
In the decomposition reaction in solution B → C, only species C absorbs UV radiation, but neither B nor the solvent absorbs. If we call At the absorbance measured at any time, A0 the absorbance at the beginning of the reaction, and A∞ the absorbance at the end of the reaction, which of the expressions is valid? We assume that Beer's law is fulfilled.
