Question 37 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • CHEMISTRY • objective

In a condensation polymerisation, monomer A (M = 100 g mol⁻¹) reacts with monomer B (M = 150 g mol⁻¹) in a 1:1 molar ratio, releasing one molecule of water (M = 18 g mol⁻¹) for each repeat unit formed. The reaction is started with 1.00 mol of each monomer. After the reaction, the isolated product contains 120 g of polymer and 40 g of unreacted monomer A. Determine (i) the average degree of polymerisation of the polymer obtained and (ii) the mass of water produced during the reaction.

Answer Options

A. Average DP ≈ 1.20; water formed = 12.0 g
B. Average DP ≈ 1.50; water formed = 9.0 g
Correct Answer C. Average DP ≈ 1.39; water formed = 10.8 g
D. Average DP ≈ 2.00; water formed = 8.0 g
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Average DP ≈ 1.39; water formed = 10.8 g
