(a)
To determine: The structure of cellulose acetate.
Interpretation: The structure of cellulose acetate is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Cellulose is the
(b)
To determine: The reason for cellulose acetate being soluble in organic solvents.
Interpretation: The reason for cellulose acetate is soluble in organic solvent even though cellulose is not is to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.
(c)
To determine: The reason for the given observation.
Interpretation: The reason for the disintegration of acetate blouse into a pile of white stuff on the action of acetone is to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.
(d)
To determine: The fact which comes true as a result of the given action.
Interpretation: The fact which results when students wear polyvinyl chloride shoes to the organic laboratory is to be stated.
Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.
