It's fairly common to do Chemists that work with making soaps, then you have tests and principles like saponification and pH balancing. It also gives u a bit of a headstart if u do Industrial Chemistry as well, cos u do Saponification in a fair amount of depth

thats adding more molecules to a polymer, right?
um, its the first part of the first unit - u should have done that by now (or are you going out of order?)

yeh, its making polyethylene ( a plastic) from ethylene, PVC (another plastic) from Chloroethene, etc which i assume a 'plastics chemist' would use...
