glue(pva) is it a salt?
« on: June 07, 2006, 05:06:19 PM »
does anyone know if pva (elmyers glue) is a salt and if it will react with acids to make acetic acid and pv sulphate, nitrate, chloride, or perchlorate?  pva(C4H6O2)=polyvinyl(C2H3+) and acetate(C2H3O2-)

no it is not a salt. while u may have thought so from the name of the compound, the same rules do not usually apply to organic compounds. polyvinyl acetate is a polymer, you can see the image i attached
