(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The
- 1. Chain initiation

- 3. Chain termination.
Chain initiation occurs by the formation of radical from one of the monomer units. Propagation occurs by the reaction of the radicals with molecules. Chain termination occurs by neutralization of radicals.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the formation of poly(styrene) from styrene has to be given and at which end of the styrene double bond, the
Concept Introduction:
The polymers are formed from the repetition monomer units. The polymerization process occurs in three steps.
- 1. Chain initiation
- 2. Chain propagation and
- 3. Chain termination.
Chain initiation occurs by the formation of radical from one of the monomer units. Propagation occurs by the reaction of the radicals with molecules. Chain termination occurs by neutralization of radicals.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
