Chapter 29, Problem 29.35P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of sulfonation of each benzene ring has to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Polymers are also known as macromolecules or large-sized molecules it’s prepared from monomer.

A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sulfonated polymer act as a cationic exchange resin has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Hard contact lenses, which first became popular in the 1960s, were made by polymerizing methyl methacrylate [CH; =C(CH,)CO,CH3] to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Draw the structure of PMMA. (b) More comfortable softer contact lenses introduced in the 1970s were made by polymerizing hydroxyethyl methacrylate [CH2=C{CH)CO,CH,CH2OH] to form poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). Draw the structure of poly-HEMA. Since neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.
One common type of cation exchange resin is prepared by polymerization of a mixture containing styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene  . The polymer is then treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to sulfonate a majority of the aromatic rings in the polymer. Q.) Explain how this sulfonated polymer can act as a cation exchange resin
