Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.52P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The water solubility of PEG and PVC is to be discussed and the reason as to why PEG is used in shampoos, whereas PVC is used to make garden hoses and pipes is to be suggested.
Concept introduction: Solubility of a given compound in water depends on the presence of how many polar groups are present in it. More the number of polar groups better the solubility.

Write the chemical structure of a non-biodegradable polymer (Polystyrene) and explain (in one line), based on it's chemical structure why it has this property
Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is produced from poly(vinyl acetate) by converting the acetate groups into hydroxyl groups (Section 26.6a.1). As the number of hydroxyl groups in PVA increases, the solubility of the polymer in water decreases. How do you explain this behavior?
Synthetic resins and cellulose derivatives are horny tough materials. Such plastics can be easily softened by the addition of some organic compounds which are known as plasticizers. Give example of FIVE (5) important plasticizers (name and structures) in polymer industries and explain how these compounds can soften the polymers.
