Interpretation:
The reason that why solid gets remained when polystyrene foam packing peanuts are immersed in acetone has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as
‘Like dissolves like’ principle said that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent. Likewise, non-polar compound should be more soluble in non-polar solvent. Other hand, compounds with similar intermolecular force capability to soluble in one another because solute-solvent interactions are similar signification to the solute-solute interaction.
The blowing agent is a gas or substance which produces gas that used in production of foamed plastic.

Chemistry In Context
- Do higher molecular weight polymers have a higher elastic modulus? Give a reason why this is/is not the case.arrow_forwardHow is hard water made soft ? Please explain the process .arrow_forwardOne of the critical properties of polymers is elasticity. The ability of many polymeric materials to be stressed and deformed but return to their original shape is a characteristic that is often valuable to engineers. Suggest a reason why polymer molecules are mostly elastic. a. made of ionic solid b. made of metallic solid c. made of crystalline solid d. made of amorphous solidarrow_forward
- What is the intermolecular forces of attraction present in the following organic compounds; 1-propanol, 2-butanol and ethanol * a. intermolecular H-bond b. intramolecular H-bond c. Van Der Waals Forces of attraction d. Dipole dipole interaction Non-volatile impurities usually decrease the boiling point of the liquid due to a decrease in the vapor pressure. TRUE or FALSE Solid organic compounds with weak cohesive forces exhibit higher melting points. TRUE or FALSEarrow_forwardis heptane is layer upper in liquidsarrow_forwardDifferentiate between molecular structures and behaviours of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.
