The monomer is OC- (CH2)5-NH known as Caprolactam. The cyclic structure of the monomer changes to linear to form the polymer, as shown below:
The monomer is Tetrafluroethene (CF2= CF2), the double bond breaks to form the polymeric

Polymers are classified based on structure, into 3 types:
Linear Polymer: They have a long and straight chain of Ex: high-density Polythene, Polyvinyl chloride

Branched-chain Polymers: They have linear molecular chains along with some Ex: less density polythene.

Cross-linked or network Polymers: In these polymers, strong covalent bonds are between the linear chains. Generally, they contain 2 or 3 types of functional groups. Ex: Bakelite, melamine.

Polymer=Poly + Mer
Poly means “many” and “Mer” means unit or part. A polymer is a large molecule which is formed by linking repeating structural units. The structural units are generally simple molecules and they are linked by a covalent bond to form a polymer.

Given,
Volume of water, V = 450 mL = 0.45 L
Temperature, T= (37 + 273)K = 310 K
1.0 g of polymer of molar mass 185,000
Number of moles of polymer, n = 1 / 185,000 mol
We know that,
Osmotic pressure? = nRT/V
= 1 X 8.314 X 103 X 310 / 185000 X 0.45
= 30.98 Pa
= 31 Pa (approx)

Given
Mass of acetic acid, w1 = 75 g
Lowering of melting point? Tf = 1.5 K
Kf = 3.9 K kg/mol
Molar mass of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6), M2 6 * 12 + 8 * 1 + 6 * 16 = 176 g/mol
We know that,

= 5.08 g
Hence,
5.08 g of ascorbic acid is needed to be dissolved.

Alkyl groups are water hating groups that is they do not get assimilated in water easily whereas on the other hand functional groups like sulphonates, alcohol etc. are water liking groups that is these groups dissolve in water easily. Therefore hydrophobic part in the above detergents is the long chain alkyl group and the hydrophilic part is the alcohol group, sulphonates group etc.

Given,
Mass of water, wl = 500 g
Boiling point of water = 99.63°C (at 750 mm Hg).
Molal elevation constant, Kb = 0.52 K kg/mol
Molar mass of sucrose (C12H22O11), M2 (11 * 12 + 22 * 1 + 11 * 16) = 342 g/mol
Elevation of boiling point ΔTb = (100 + 273) - (99.63 + 273) = 0.37 K
We know that,
ΔTb = Kb X 1000 X W2 / M2 X W1
0.37 = 0.52 X 1000 X W2 / 340 X 500
w2 = 0.37 X 342 X 500 / 0.52 X 1000
w2 = 121.67 g
Hence,
121.67 g (approx) Sucrose is added to 500g of water so that it boils at 100°C.

Given,
Vapour pressure of water, PIo = 23.8 mm of Hg
Weight of water, w1 = 850 g
Weight of urea, w2 = 50 g
Molecular weight of water, M1 = 18 g/mol
Molecular weight of urea, M2 = 60 g/mol
n1 = w1/M1 = 850/18 = 47.22 mol
n2 = w2/M2 = 50/60 = 0.83 mol
We have to calculate vapour pressure of water in the solution p1
By using Raoult's therom,

PI = 23.4 mm of Hg Hence,
The vapour pressure of water in the solution is 23.4mm of Hg and its relative lowering is 0.0173.

Given, PAo = 450 mm Hg
PBo = 700 mm Hg
ptotal = 600 mm of Hg
By using Rault's law,
ptotal = PA + PB
ptotal = PAoxA + PBoxB
ptotal = PAoxA + PBo ( 1 - xA )
ptotal = (PAo- PBo)xA + PBo
600 = (450 - 700) xA + 700
-100 = -250 xA
xA = 0.4
∴ xB = 1 - xA
xB = 1 – 0.4
xB = 0.6
Now,
PA = PAoxA
PA = 450 * 0.4
PA = 180 mm of Hg and
PB = PBox
PB = 700 * 0.6
PB = 420 mm of Hg
Composition in vapour phase is calculated by
Mole fraction of liquid,
A =PA / PA + PB
= 180/180+420
= 0.30
Mole fraction of liquid,
B =PB / PA + PB
= 420 / 180+420
= 0.70
