Chapter 15.5, Problem 13P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three segment of 1,4-polymerized product of 1,3-butadiene has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

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.

Two types of polymers:

  • Synthetic and biopolymers.
  • DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
  • Polymers synthesized by scientists are called synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.

Two types of synthetic polymers:

  • Chain-growth polymers or addition polymers and Step-growth polymers or Condensation polymers.
  • Chain growth polymers are formed by the monomer addition to the end of a growing chain.
  • Step-growth polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.

As we will learn in Chapter 28, styrene derivatives such as A can be polymerized by way of cationic rather than radical intermediates. Cationic polymerization is an example of electrophilic addition to an alkene involving carbocations.a.Draw a short segment of the polymer formed by the polymerization of A. b.Why does A react faster than styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) in a cationic polymerization?
Which function group/s is/are present in monomers that undergo cationic polymerization. A. electron donating B. electron withdrawing C. both a and b D. none of the given choices
5. How much BPO would be needed to polymerize 2.5 g of styrene to a target molecular weight of 150,000 g/mol? 2.5 g ? g BPO n y MW = 150,000
