Question

PVC polymer can be prepared by which of the monomer?

• A. $ C{{H}_{3}}CH=C{{H}_{2}} $
• B. $ {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=C{{H}_{2}} $
• C. $ ~C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}} $
• D. $ C{{H}_{2}}=CHCl $

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The monomer used for the preparation of PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) polymer is vinyl chloride i.e., $ C{{H}_{2}}=CH-Cl. $ $ \underset{\text{Vinyl}\,\text{chloride}}{\mathop{nC{{H}_{2}}=CHCl}}\,\xrightarrow{\text{Peroxide}}\underset{PVC}{\mathop{{{\left[ -C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{Cl}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,- \right]}_{n}}}}\, $
