Question

PET is made from two kind of monomer by the process of _____ polymerisation

Answer 1

Answer:

PET is a polymer – a macromolecule made out of thousands of repeating monomer units. 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.
