Questions from Richard Harwood and Ian Lodge Solutions for Chapter: Petrochemicals and Polymers, Exercise 5: Exercise 11.5 with Hints & Solutions
Compare the structure of a protein with that of a synthetic polyamide. The structure of a typical protein is given below:
i) How are they similar?
ii) How are they different?
A form of nylon can be made from the following two monomers.
Deduce the simple molecule released in the condensation reaction in this case?
Complex carbohydrates such as starch are another group of condensation polymers. Enzymes such as amylase, a carbohydrase, can hydrolyse complex carbohydrates to simple sugars which can be represented as:
Draw the structure of the complex carbohydrate chain (showing at least three monomer units).
