Synthetic polymers do not degrade in the environment for a long time. How can biodegradable synthetic polymers be made. Differentiate between biopolymers and biodegradable polymers and give examples of each type.

Answer»

Solution :SYNTHETIC polymers are quite resistant to ENVIRONMENTAL degradation process and are responsible for the accumulation of polymeric solid WASTE materials. New biodegradable synthetic polymers have been designed and developed. These polymers contain similar functional group as present in biopolymers.
e.g., : aliphatic polyesters
Biopolymers can or can.t be biodogradable e.g. : Protein, starch etc., biodegradable but Keratin are non-biodegradabele.
Biodegradable POLYMER are polymers which can be degradable always. e.g. : PHBV

ANSWER :D
13.

Synthetic detergents are more effective in hard water than soaps because

Answer»

they are non-ionic
their `Ca^(++ )`and `Mg^(++)`salts are insoluble in water
their `Ca^(++)` and `Mg^(++)` salts are water soluble
they are highly soluble in water

Solution :Structural features of soaps and DETERGENTS are almost same except that the POLAR end in detergents is `-OSO_3^(-)NA^+`while in soaps polar end is `-COO^(-)Na^+` Detergents have an advantage over soaps that its polar end sulphate and sulphonate retain their efficiency in HARD water, since the corresponding Ca and Mg salts are soluble. Being salts of STRONG acids, they yield neutral solution, in contrast, to the soaps, which being snits of weak acids yield slightly alkaline solutions.

Answer»

Solution :a.Write the structures of ether:

since it is an unstable compopund and tautomerise to `H_(3)C--CH=O`. Double BOND is introduced after the formation of ether by method (III).

Method (I) cannot be used because of unreactive vinyl halideand vinyl oxideboth are stabilised by reasonance.Method (II) cannot be used because of unreactive vinyl alcohol.
b.Structure of ether :
Method (II) will give desired result with


Although it is symmetrical ether, but method (III) cannot be used because intromlecular dehydration of `2^(@)` ROH would give mainly cyclohexene.Method (I) cannot be used because `2^(@)` RX does not favour the reaction.
c.Structure of ether.

By method (II):
i.
ii.
Path (ii) is not feasible because it would give different ether (isopropyl-sec-butyl ether) (F).

Path (i) would give the required ether:

d.Structure of the ether:
Method I is feasible:

Methods II and III are not feasible and method II would give different isomers.

Path (i):

Path (ii):

Method III is not feasible. It is a non-symmetrical ether, dehydration gives mixtures and both alkyl groups are `1^(@)` .
`R--O--H + R'O---H OVERSET (Conc.H_(2)SO_(4)) underset (Low TEMP) rarr`
`R--O--R' + R--O--R + R'--O--R`

e.Structure of ether:

Method III is feasible. It is a symmetrical ether and with `1^(@) (R---)` groups.

Method I is not feasible. Both RX and R'ONa wold be `1^(@)`. Better yield of ether is OBTAINED FORM `1^(@)` RX and `3^(@)` RONa.Method II is not feasible, it would give a different ether.

Symmetrically subsituted epoxides give the same products in both the acid catalysed and base catalyzed ring opening. An unsymmetrical epoxide gives different products under acid catalysed and base catalysed conditions. Under basic contions, the alkoxide ion simply attacks the less hindered carbon atom in an SN^(2) displacement. Under acidic conditions, the alcohol, attacks the protonated epoxide. Structure II and III show that the oxtrane carbon share part of positive charge. The tertiary carbon bear a larger part of positive charge and it is more strongly electrophilic. The bond between teritiary carbon and oxygen is weaker implying a lower transition state energy for attack at the teritary carbon. Attack by the weak nucleophilic is sensitive to the strength of electrophilic is sensitive to the strength of electrophile. Center attack takes place at more electrophilic carbon which is usually the more substituted carbon because it can better support the positive charge.
