polymers

Question 1

what are the 2 types of polymers

Answer 1

1) type of monomers joined together
2) condensation polymers -1 or 2 different monomers

Question 2

give an example of polymers with only on type of monomer

Answer 2

polypropene
double bond breaks so only 2 carbons in repeating unit

Question 3

how to form polymers with only one monomer

Answer 3

using high temp/pressure

Question 4

what are 2 types of condensation polymers made

Answer 4

polyesters or polyamides

Question 5

what are the disadvantages of condensation polymers

Answer 5

they make small unwanted molecules
H2O or HCl

Question 6

draw out the equation of polyesters made from a diol and a dicarboxylic acid

Answer 6

forming polyester

Question 7

how would using a diol and diacychloride instead of diol and dicarboxylic acid differ in forming polyester

Answer 7

it would form 2nHCl at end instead of 2nH2O

Question 8

show in an equation how a hydrocarboxylic acid can form a polyester

Answer 8

Question 9

what are the 2 ways to form polyamides

Answer 9

diamine and dicarboxylic acid
amino acids

Question 10

show how a polyamide is formed from a diamine and dicarboxylic acid using an equation

Answer 10

Question 11

show how a polyamide is formed from amino acids using an equation

Answer 11
