Practise converting monomers to addition-polymer repeat units and recovering monomer structures from polymers, recognising alkene addition and non-biodegradable products.
Organic compounds can be distinguished using chemical tests and analytical techniques.
D2 forms polymer Z when heated gently.
Identify the type of polymer that forms from D2.
Draw one repeat unit of polymer Z.
X reacts with another reagent to form Y.
Molecules of Y react together to form addition polymer Z. The diagram shows the repeat unit of polymer Z.
repeat unit of polymer Z
Draw the structural formula of monomer Y.
Fig. 4.1 shows a possible synthesis of propene, .
Fig. 4.1
Under suitable conditions, propene polymerises to form poly(propene).
Poly(propene) exhibits stereoisomerism.
Identify the type of polymerisation that forms poly(propene) from propene.
State two difficulties associated with the disposal of poly(propene).
