Question

6 PET is made from two kinds of monomers by the process of _______ polymerisation.​

Answer 1

PET is a polymer – a macromolecule made out of thousands of repeating monomerunits. To produce PET, chemists use two different kinds of monomers: terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Both units undergo a reaction called esterification, where an organic acid and an alcohol combine to form an ester and water
