In Organic Chemistry for the Preparation and Properties of Polymers Lab (using toluene, styrene, benzoyl peroxide, methanol, adipoyl chloride, cyclohexane, hexanediamine, sodium hydroxide, phthalic anhydride, sodium acetate, and ethylene glycol), please help answer the following question;
1. The observation between the two heated polyesters were different. What structural features account for the differences observed? (test tube 1 contained phthalic anhydride, sodium acetate and ethylene glycol and the second test tube contained phthalic anhydride, sodium acetate and glycerol.)
The structural features that account for the difference is the
structure of alcohol in each test tube. In test tube 1 the alcohol
is ethylene glycol and on another it is glycerol. Ethylene glycol
is dihydroxy compound but glycerol is tri-hydroxy compound. So with
reaction of phthalic anhydride they both will produce ester but in
test tube 1 it will be diester and in test tube 2 it will be
triester. Their mass will be different and so their properties.
