Hi everybody.

I have Chemistry SL mock exam tomorrow and I am solving some past exams.

In May 2003 there was a question about polyesters, but I really don't remember studying them.

I know we have to know about polymerization of alkenes...

So, are polyesters part of the SL syllabus?

Best regards.

I have a revision guide which was published in 2001 which has ployesters as part of the SL syllabus. However I think the syllabus has changed and according to this syllabus of 2009: http://ibchem.com/IB/ibsyllabus-2009.htm it is under the HL Chem section. You however need to be able to identify esters (R-COO-R).

And, by the way, my extended essay was sent to your country. Lol

According to the mouse over of his flag his country is Hong Kong. I seem confused :D

Hong Kong is one of the special administrative regions of China, just like Macau. It belongs to China, however it is regarded as an independent country. I'm not an expert in this matter, but I think that's the main idea.

And yes, my extended essay was sent there, to the Li Po Chun United World College I think.
