Condensation polymers questions
1. Benzene−1,4−dicarboxylic acid, HOOC−C6H4−COOH, can react with propane−1,3−diol, HO−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH, to form a polymer. (a) Identify the type of condensation polymer formed in this reaction. (b) Draw the repeating unit of the polymer formed. (c) State the balanced equation for the reaction. (d) Calculate the atom economy of this reaction if 1000 mol of benzene−1,4−dicarboxylic acid reacts with 1000 mol of...
