(a)
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
(b)
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:
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:
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.
