Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for insolubility of big six polymer in water and solubility of it in hydrocarbons has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.

Polymers: Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.

‘Like dissolves like’ principle said that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent. Likewise, non-polar compound should be more soluble in non-polar solvent. Other hand, compounds with similar intermolecular force capability to soluble in one another because solute-solvent interactions are similar signification to the solute-solute interaction.
