Answer #1

I believe the correct answer to be:

99 water molecules..

As 100 monomers would be covalemntly bounded at 99 locations because the ends of monomers are not bound to anything. So the number of bonds become N-1, which is 100 - 1 = 99 bonds that re needed to be broken to completely hydrolyze the polymer.

feel free to leave a comment down below for any further query. good rating would be appreciated if you find my answer helpful. thank you.
