A polyester is made from ethane-1,2-diol, HO−CH2CH2−OH\mathrm{HO{-}CH_{2}CH_{2}{-}OH}HO−CH2CH2−OH, and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, HOOC−C6H4−COOH\mathrm{HOOC{-}C_{6}H_{4}{-}COOH}HOOC−C6H4−COOH.
Each repeating unit of the polyester is made from one molecule of each monomer.
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): H = 1.0 C = 12.0 O = 16.0
What is the relative formula mass of one repeating unit?
