Interpretation Introduction

a) Syndiotactic polyacrylonitrile

Interpretation:

Draw the three-dimensional structure of the polymeric products given in the question.

Concept introduction:

Isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic are the stereochemical forms. The polymer having the (-R) group on the same side of the macromolecule backbone (zig-zag bone) is known as isotactic polymer. An isotactic macromolecule consists of 100% meso diads.

Syndiotactic are the macromolecules in which the (-R) groups are arranged in an alternate manner along the long chain of the polymer. Gutta percha is also an example for Syndiotactic polymer.

In atactic form, the substituents are placed in a random manner along the long chain.

The important point to note here is that the polymer obtained from the chain growth polymerization mechanism must have chiral carbons to possess these structures. If the polymer formed does not have chiral carbon then it cannot occur in isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic forms.

please solve. If the answer is "no error" and it asks me to type something, and i typed a-helix, its always wrong.
Can you please solve and explain this for me in a simple way? I cant seem to comprehend this problem.

Complexation wl diphenyl carbazide (OPC) in acidic media is another type of sensitive photometric method used for the analysis of aqueous. hexavalent chromium. At 540nm the cherry-red complex as a result of DPC reaction w/ chromium can be photometrically measured. at this wavelength. - a 25mL The UV-vis analysis for the determination of nexavalent chromium in ground water sample is given below. The experiment was based on external calibration method w/ each measurement sample prepared are as follows lab sample analysis contained the standard 100 ppb croy cor groundwater sample, volumes used as indicated below), 12.50 mL of 0.02 M H2Soy and 5.50 ml of 100 ppm DPC (wi water to adjust final volume to 25-ml).
