Question
Chapter 28.8, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation is to be suggested for the observation that branches shorter or longer than four carbonsare found infrequently in polyethylene.
Concept introduction:
During the intramolecular hydrogen transfer, the carbon atom at the end of the
fifth carbon.
This results in a transition state which is a cyclic arrangement of six atoms.
This reduces the randomness of the transition state as compared to the open chain polymer.
During this process, a primary free radical is converted to a more stable secondary free radical.
This step is exothermic since products of this step are more stable than the reactants.

A long polymer chain, such as polyethylene ( -CH2CH2- )n, can potentially exist in solution as a chiral object. Give two examples of chiral structures that a polyethylene chain could adopt.
(5) One of Prof Cunningham's former students wrote his doctoral dissertation about a new
technology to clean up soil contaminated by certain types of chemicals. One of the
chemicals we tested in the lab was 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (TECB).
(a) Draw the chemical structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene.
(b) When we started working on the project, we thought maybe TeCB would be de-
stroyed according to first-order kinetics, but we weren't sure. Below are two tables
of actual data that the student collected in the laboratory. The two data sets were
collected under different experimental conditions. For each of the two experiments,
determine if the disappearance of TeCB is zero-order, first-order, second-order, or
something else. Specify the value of the rate constant (ko, k1, or k2, as appropriate).
Be sure to give the right units of k!

Nylon 6 and poly(ε-caprolactone) have similar polymer backbone structure with one carbonyl, 5 methylene and a heteroatom, nitrogen or oxygen, respectively. Each is able to undergo crystallization. However, their thermal transition temperature differs significantly. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for Nylon 6 is 52 °C, whereas the Tg for poly(εcaprolactone) is 112 degree lower than Nylon 6 at – 60 °C. Similarly, the melting temperature (Tm) for Nylon 6 is 223 °C, whereas the Tm for poly(εcaprolactone) is 60 °C.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, showing signals indicative of only methyl and methylene groups, with no evidence of methine (CH) or quaternary carbon environments. Mass spectrometry (MS), revealing a fragmentation pattern consistent with branched alkane structures. Based on this sequence of analyses, what is the most likely structure of compound 'Q'?
