Is the process by which many monomers are linked together to produce a long-chained polymer that can be molded to produce the vast array of plastic containers.

Question 6

Why is PVC dangerous?

Answer 6

Because iy contain phthalates which makes PVS flexible that dissolves in the water, spreads into the air and rubbed off onto the skin

Question 7

What is fractionation?

Question 8

Fractional distillation is based on the principle that

Answer 8

the boiling point of a hydrocarbon is dependent on the length of the carbon chain.

Question 9

Answer 9

shorter-chained and branched hydrocarbons.

Question 10

What is craking?

Answer 10

The process used to convert the straight-chained hydrocarbons into more useful shorter chained and branched hydrocarbons. The mixture is heated with a catalyst and high temp.
