Question

What is the chemical formula for PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride, which is a synthetic polymer?

• A. ${\left(C_4{H}_{5}Cl\right)}_n$
• B. ${\left(C_6{H}_{7}Cl\right)}_n$
• C. ${\left(C_2{H}_{3}Cl\right)}_n$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is

B

${\left(C_2{H}_{3}Cl\right)}_n$

PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride is a synthetic polymer which is formed by combining two chemicals repeatedly to form a large polymeric chain. Its chemical formula is ${\left(C_2{H}_{3}Cl\right)}_n$.

The formula of Polyvinyl chloride is $C{H}_2=CH-Cl$ , hence option B is correct.

Hope you got that.
