Question

Synthetic biopolymer , PHBV is made up to the following monomers ,
A. 3-hydroxybutanoic acid +3-hydroxypentanoic acid
B. 2-hydroxybutaoic acid +2-hydoxypropanoic acid
C. 3-chlorobutanoic acid +3-chloropentanoic acid
D. 2-chlorobutanoic acid +3-methylpentanoic acid.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`underset("3-Hydroxybutanoic acid")(nCH_(3)-overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)COOH)+underset("3-Hydroxypentanoic acid")(nCH_(3)CH_(2)-overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)COOH) to underset(PHBV)([--O-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-underset(O)underset(||)C-underset(CH_(2)CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-underset(O)underset(||)(C)--]_(n)`
