Your Turn 9.22 Skill Building Burning a Plastic
Under conditions of complete combustion, polypropylene burns to produce carbon dioxide and water.
- a. Write a balanced chemical equation. Assume an average chain length of 2500 monomers.
- b. If the combustion is incomplete, other products form. Name two possibilities.
- c. Using the Internet as a resource, list some additives that are commonly added to
polymers such as polypropylene. Could these also be released as harmful environmental pollutants during combustion? Explain your answer.
