A chemist makes one polyester chain from a mixture of monomer molecules.
The sum of the relative formula masses of the monomer molecules is 3600. The polyester chain has a relative formula mass of 3276. Water is the only other product formed.
Relative formula mass of water = 18
What is the number of ester links in the polyester chain?
182
