  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 17, Problem 88P

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are macromolecules which are composed of a large number of small repeating units. These repeating units are known as monomers and the process of formation of polymers from monomer units is known as polymerization.

On the basis of type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of alkene leads to formation of polyalkenes.

Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. These polymerizations occur with elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2 etc.

1) To identify which contains more acid vinegar or lemon juice neutralization with sodium hydroxide can be used. Explain how. 2) The long filaments making up the thread of woven synthetic fabrics are likely polyesters. Describe the special characteristic that the alcohol and carboxylic acid must have so that they can react with each other to produce such long filaments.
Aspirin undergoes the typical reactions of esters. With this in mind, can aspirin be recrystallized using hot water? Is the product isolated a pure aspirin?
Carboxylic acids can also react with amides to give polyamides (polymers). The same is true with esters and alcohols. Read on lactomer and how it is used for stitches that can dissolve overtime. Why do lactomer stitches dissolve within 2 to 3 weeks following surgery? Refer to the photo below.
