Answer
  • C24 H42 O21 + 3 H2O
  • C24 H48 O24 + 3 H2O
  • C24 H40 O22 + 4 H2O
  • C24 H48 O21 + 4H2O

Question 2

Question
8 molecules of C6 H12 O6 will produce what oligomer and how many molecules of water will be formed?
Answer
  • C48 H82 O41 + 7 H2O
  • C21 H24 O22 + 8 H2O
  • C48 H96 O48 - 7 H2O
  • C42 H84 O40 - 8 H2O
  • C48 H82 O41 - 7 H2O

Question 3

Question
An oligomer with a formula of C40 H66 O33 is made up of a monomer with a formula of C5 H10 O5. If it is hydrolyzed, how many monomers will be produced and how many water molecules will be consumed?
Answer
