Principle
Polymers decompose on heating. The oxidation products are essentially carbon dioxide and water. PE or PP should be used as plastic material, as here the pollution caused by the decomposition products is relatively small.

 

Learning objectives

  •  Polymers decompose on heating in water and carbon dioxid

 

Benefits

  • Easy teaching and efficient learning by using interactive experimentation PHYWE-Software
  • Experiment is part of a complete solution set with experiments for the topic Chemistry of Polymers matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
