Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that why solid gets remained when polystyrene foam packing peanuts are immersed in acetone has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.

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.

The blowing agent is a gas or substance which produces gas that used in production of foamed plastic.
