(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Identify the repeating unit of the polymer formed and classify as chain-growth or step-growth polymers.

Concept introduction:

  • Polymers can be classified as chain-growth and step-growth polymers. 
  • Chain-growth polymers are the one which are formed when monomer is added to the other monomer growing chain one at a time. 
  • This growing polymer chain usually has only one reactive site.  This site is called growth point. 
  • Step-growth polymers are the one when the monomers react with each other to form oligomers. 
  • These oligomers are joined together to form polymers.  This usually occurs when difunctional monomers are used.  This has got two growth points.

To identify: The polymer formed and to determine whether it is step-growth or chain-growth polymer.

6. Consider the following exothermic reaction below. 2Cu2+(aq) +41 (aq)2Cul(s) + 12(aq) a. If Cul is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). b. If Cu2+ is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). c. If a solution of AgNO3 is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). d. If the solvent hexane (C6H14) is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). Hint: one of the reaction species is more soluble in hexane than in water. e. If the reaction is cooled, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). f. Which of the changes above will change the equilibrium constant, K?
