Paragraph I: An organic compound $P$ with molecular formula $C_5 H_{10} O_2$ decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. $P$ on ozonolysis followed by treatment with $H_2 O_2$ gives $Q$ and $R$. While compound $Q$ shows positive iodoform test, compound $R$ does not give positive iodoform test. $Q$ and $R$ on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give $S$ and $T$, respectively. Both $S$ and $T$ show positive iodoform test.
Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of $Q$ and 500 moles of $R$ gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer $U$.
[Given, atomic mass: $H=1$, $C=12$, $O=16$]
Question: The molecular weight of $U$ is
$\mathrm{S~} \& \mathrm{~T}$ shows + ve idoform test.
$\mathrm{Rmf} \mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_3$ (M. wt $)_{\mathrm{R}}=70+48=118$
$\mathrm{Q} \mathrm{mf} \mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O}_3(\mathrm{M} . \mathrm{wt})_{\mathrm{Q}}=56+48=104$
500 mole $\mathrm{Q}+500$ mole $\mathrm{R} \xrightarrow[\text { polymer }]{\text { Condensation }}$
