Write one difference between chain growth and step growth polymerisation. Give one example of each.

Answer»

Solution :Chain growth polymerisation involves addition of monomers by free-radical or ionic mechanism. Unsaturated monomers react by this mode of polymerisation to give polymers. Examples : Polythene, POLYPROPYLENE.
STEP growth polymerisation involves monomers having MULTI functional GROUPS and the polymer is obtained in gradual steps by condensation between the monomers with the removal of simple molecules like HCI or `H_(2)O`, Nylon 6, 6 is formed by step growth polymerisation.

Which method is most suitable to determine molecular mass of polymer ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Measurement of osmotic pressure provides another METHOD of determining molar masses of solutes. This method is widely used to determine molar masses of proteins, polymers and other macro molecules.
The osmotic pressure method has the ADVANTAGE over other methods as pressure measurement is around the room temperature and the molarity of the solution is used instead of molality.
As compared to other colligative properties, its magnitude is large even for very dilute SOLUTIONS. The technique of osmotic pressure for determination of molar mass of solutes is particularly USEFUL for bio molecules as they are generally not stable at higher temperatures and polymers have poor solubility.

What is electrode and half-cell ? Explain symbolic representationby suitable example.

Answer»

Solution :Electrode: In galvanic cell or electrolytic cell, the system generated by putting metal rod or plate in its salt SOLUTIONIS known as electrode, in which flow of current/electrode occur.
Half-cell: Electrode and solution in which it is kept, where oxidation or reduction reaction is possible such system is CALLED half-cell.
Symbolic representation of electrode (Half-cell):
When vertical line is put between metal and its ion and according to the convention for reduction reaction metal ion/metal is to be written.
For reduction: Symbolic representation of
`Zn^(2+)+2E^(-) to Zn` is `Zn_((aq))^(2+)|Zn_((S))`
For oxidation: Symbolic representation of
`Zn_((S))toZn^(2+)+2e^-)` is `Zn_((S))|Zn_((aq))^(2+)`
If reactant or product is gar or liquid then usually platinum metal is used. symbolic representation of such electrode is as follows:
(i) For hydrogen electrode :
Anode : `Pt_((S))|H_(2(g))(1" bar")|H_((aq))^(+)` . . . (Oxidation)
CATHODE: `H_((aq))^(+)|H_(2(g))(1" bar")Pt`. . . (Reduction)
(ii) For bromine electrode:
Cathode: `Pt_((S))|Br_(2(aq))|Br_((aq))^(-)`. . . (Reduction)
Reaction : `(1)/(2)Br_(2(aq))+E^(-)toBr^(-)`. . . (Reduction)
Anode: `Br_((aq))^(-)|Br_(2(aq))|Pt_((S))`. . . (Reduction)
Reaction: `Br_((aq))^(-)to(1)/(2)Br_(2(aq))+e^(-)`. . .(Reduction)
