(c) polyacrylamide and saturated sodium chloride
(d) sodium polyacrylamide and water
(e) sodium polyacrylamide and isopropyl alcohol
(f) sodium polyacrylamide and saturated sodium chloride

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the reactants and products**: For each reaction, we need to identify the reactants (polyacrylamide or sodium polyacrylamide) and the products formed when they react with water, isopropyl alcohol, or saturated sodium chloride. ‖ ‖ 2 ⋮ **Draw the polymer structures**: Use ChemDraw or any chemical drawing program to illustrate the structures of polyacrylamide and sodium polyacrylamide. Represent the repeating units with $n$. ‖ ‖ 3 ⋮ **Polyacrylamide and water**: The reaction between polyacrylamide and water typically involves hydrolysis, leading to the formation of acrylamide monomers. ‖ ‖ 4 ⋮ **Polyacrylamide and isopropyl alcohol**: This reaction may involve the formation of isopropyl acrylamide. ‖ ‖ 5 ⋮ **Polyacrylamide and saturated sodium chloride**: This reaction might not lead to significant chemical changes but could involve physical interactions. ‖ ‖ 6 ⋮ **Sodium polyacrylamide and water**: Similar to polyacrylamide, hydrolysis can occur, leading to the formation of sodium acrylamide. ‖ ‖ 7 ⋮ **Sodium polyacrylamide and isopropyl alcohol**: This reaction may lead to the formation of sodium isopropyl acrylamide. ‖ ‖ 8 ⋮ **Sodium polyacrylamide and saturated sodium chloride**: Again, this might involve physical interactions rather than significant chemical changes. ‖ ‖ 9 ⋮ **Draw the mechanisms**: For at least one reaction involving polyacrylamide and one involving sodium polyacrylamide, illustrate the detailed reaction mechanism. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ The reactants and products for each reaction are identified and illustrated using chemical drawing software.
