Interpretation:
The reason for insolubility of big six polymer in water and solubility of it in hydrocarbons has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
‘Like dissolves like’ principle said that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent. Likewise, non-polar compound should be more soluble in non-polar solvent. Other hand, compounds with similar intermolecular force capability to soluble in one another because solute-solvent interactions are similar signification to the solute-solute interaction.

Chemistry In Context
- What are the characteristics of Biodegradable Polymers ? Explain importance of this as well ?arrow_forwardThe structure shown is an example of a type of macromolecule (carbohydrate, lipid, protein, or nucleic acid) that is an important biological polymer. Identify the type of macromolecule shown, the type of monomer it is made from, how you came to your conclusion and the general types of important biological functions of this type of macromolecule in the cell. 0=210 + OCH₂ NH₂ OH OHarrow_forwardConsider the structures of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. What structural features are most likely responsible for the difference in the melting points of the two molecules? Explain briefly.arrow_forward

- Consider a hypothetical tough polymer that exhibits exceptional mechanical properties. This polymer possesses high strength and toughness, allowing it to withstand extreme conditions. Discuss the underlying polymer chemistry principles that contribute to the toughness of this material.arrow_forwardThe name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this. Suppose you had 300.g of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula C12H22O11 . Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardStep-growth, or condensation, polymers are formed from monomers that have more than one functional group. Consider the monomers oxalyl chloride and resorcinol, shown below. Draw the structure for two repeat units of the polymer that forms from these monomersarrow_forward
