What is a balanced chemical equation for the formation of a polymer via a condensation reaction from the monomers succinic acid
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Polymerization refers to the formation of a macro-molecule by the aggregation of small molecules called monomers. Monomers are the small molecules that are joined together to form a polymer.
The formation of a condensation polymer is accompanied by the loss of a small molecules such as water as shown in the image attached.
Succinic acid reacts with ethylenediamine to form a nylon type polymer. The nature of this reaction is detailed in the image attached to this answer. Recall that a polymer may contain (n) number of monomers joined together in the macromolecule.
