Chapter 27, Problem 45E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that the molecular mass of polymer is not a unique quantity as it is for a substance like benzene should be determined.

Concept introduction:

A polymer is a large molecule that is formed of small molecules known as monomers. A large number of monomers are covalently bonded to each other to form a polymer. Polymers are of two types as follows:

1. Natural polymers

2. Synthetic polymers
