Question

Polyethylene phthalate is a copolymer containing phthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The monomers will undergo condensation using a step-growth process to form the polymer. Modify the molecules shown to clearly indicate the product formed from reaction of one functional group on phthalic acid with one functional group on ethylene glycol.
