Daniel was trying to make a polyester. He knew that he needed to utilize condensation polymerization, so he added ethyl alcohol and butanoic acid together in the presence of sulfuric acid. However, when the reaction ceased, he was left with a clear, non-viscous liquid that had a fruity odor. It appeared as if no polymerization had occurred. What did Daniel do wrong? (a) He ran the polymerization under acidic conditions. He needed to run the reaction in basic conditions in order for the polymerization to occur. (b) He needed to use difunctional molecules like ethane-1,2-diol and propane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid in order to form the polymer he desired. (c) You cannot form a polyester via condensation polymerization. He should have utilized addition polymerization. (d) He didn't do anything wrong.
