Using C 12, H 1, O 16 and N 14, which of the following repeat-unit molar masses is/are correct? (One or more options may be correct.)

  1. APGA, : 58 g/mol
  2. BPoly(3-hydroxybutanoate), : 86 g/mol
  3. CNylon 2-nylon 6, : 188 g/mol
  4. DPLA, : 72 g/mol

Answer: A, B, D

PGA is = 58, PLA is = 72 and the 3-hydroxybutanoate unit is = 86. The nylon 2-nylon 6 unit is = 170, not 188 (the value with water added).
