AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

             The monomers of polyesters are,

                                  (i) A Dicarboxylic Acid

                                  (ii) A Dialcohol

Explanation:

                     As depicted from name polyester is a macromolecule which contains numerous ester functional groups. Ester is formed by the condensation of Carboxylic acid and alcohol as shown,

                            R-COOH  +  R'OH  →  RCOOR'  +  H₂O

Therefore, in order to utilize this reaction for the formation of long chain of polyesters then one can use a dicarboxylic compounds and dialcohol compounds. This will allow to propagate the chain length depending upon the requirement. Hence, the general reaction for the formation of polyester is shown below. The circle and rectangle specifies different moieties which imparts different characters to the polyester.

By mistake, you added salt instead of sugar to the<br> oil. How can you remove the salt?
Ghella [55]

Explanation:

To remove the salt from the oil, I will add water to dissolve the salt from it.

Oil is an organic molecule that is non-polar

Salt is polar ionic compound

Salt will not dissolve in the oil.

  • Take the mixture.
  • Add water to it.
  • Water and oil are immiscible
  • Shake the new heterogeneous mixture vigorously.
  • leave to settle.
  • Oil will come on top of the water.
  • You can skim off the oil layer on top.
  • Then heat the water and salt solution.
  • This leaves the oil behind.
