Condensation Polymers

Question 1

What is the rules with the Acid when doing CP

Answer 1

So you have to identify it with the function group C double bond to O
Then take out -OH from both sides

Question 2

What are the rules with Alcohols in CP

Answer 2

Function group- OH
Remove the H
Bond
Then brackets +n + H2O

Question 3

What is the rule of it’s a double of the same monomer

Answer 3

Flip one of them

Question 4

What are some naturally occurring polymers

Answer 4

Monomer- glucose in starch and cellulose
Monomer amino acids- proteins

Question 5

How does DNA relate to CP

Answer 5

Made up of two polymer chains made from 4 different monomers called nucleotides in the from of a double helix
