polymerization of vinyl alcohol alkaline hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate polymerization of ACETYLENE reaction of acetylene with `H_2SO_4` in presence of `HgSO_4`
Solution :Vinyl alcohol, `CH_2=CHOH`, monomer of polyvinyl alcohol exists mainly as `CH_3CHO`, HENCE polyvinyl alcohol is BESTPREPARED by the alkaline hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate which in turn is prepared by the polymerisation of vinyl acetate
