prosess untuk menghasilkan polimer tersebut?
What is the source of this polymer as shown in the Diagram, explain
the process of making the polymer?

Jawapan: Petroleum.Poly(ethene) is made

by several methods by addition
polymerization of ethene, which is
principally produced by the cracking of
ethane and propane, naphtha and gas oil.

Storage tanks for cold water are now made from polymers
because they are cheaper than metal tanks. Suggest two other
advantages of making water tanks from polymers.

 TAHAP PENGUASAAN 5
Ali discovered that the latex from rubber tree is hardening after few hours.
Describe how to prevent this phenomenon from happening?
Ali mendapati getah daripada pokok getah mengeras selepas beberapa jam.
Jelaskan cara untuk menghalang fenomena ini daripada berlaku.
Jawapan:
Alkalis such as ammonia, NH3 solution are added to prevent coagulation. The
hydroxide ions from alkali neutralise hydrogen ions produced by lactic acid as
a result of bacterial attack on protein. By doing so, there are no hydrogen ions
to neutralise the negative charges on the rubber particles, they remain
negatively charged and hence cannot combine and coagulate.
