Worksheet: Addition Polymerization
In this worksheet, we will practice defining an addition polymerization and determining the structure of an addition polymer from the monomer reactant.
Q1: Addition polymers may be made from many types of monomer. What is the most common type of monomer used to make addition polymers? A Alcohols B Carboxylic acids C Alkanes D Alkenes E Alkynes
Q2: Which of the following is the best description of an addition polymer? A A polymer that can be easily added to other polymers B A polymer made by linking monomers together, without forming by-products C A polymer made by linking different monomers in a well-defined sequence D A polymer made by linking monomers together and releasing water or other small molecules E A polymer that can be linked to itself to form a longer polymer
Q3: Poly(styrene) is an addition polymer made from the monomer styrene. If 100 kg of styrene reacts completely to form polystyrene, what mass of polystyrene is produced?
