(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of cellulose acetate.

Interpretation: The structure of cellulose acetate is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Cellulose is the polymer of glucose. A larger number of glucose molecules combine together to form cellulose polymer.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

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)

Interpretation Introduction

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)

Interpretation Introduction

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.

In reference to cloth or fiber, the term acetate usually means cellulose acetate, a semisynthetic polymer made by treating cellulose with acetic anhydride. Cellulose acetate is spun into yarn by dissolving it in acetone or methylene chloride and forcing the solution through spinnerets into warm air, where the solvent evaporates. Predict what usually happens when students wear polyvinyl chloride shoes to the organic laboratory.
