ORGANIC MACROMOLECULES 1. What is a polymer? 2. Man-made polymers have been studied since 1832. Today‚ the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminum‚ copper and steel industries combined. Polymers already have a range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available to man. Give examples where polymers are applied in each of these categories: a) Agriculture b) Medicine c) Consumer Science

Empirical Formula of a Compound * Purpose: To determine the empirical formula of Magnesium Chloride. * Data 1. Mass of evaporating dish = 45.08g 2. Mass of evaporating dish and Magnesium = 45.17g 3. Mass of Magnesium: { 2 } – { 1 } = 0.09 4. Mass of evaporating dish and Magnesium Chloride First weighing = 45.48g (After heating and cooling) second weighing = 45.49g 5. Mass of Magnesium Chloride: { 4} – { 1 } = 0.41g
