Industrial Chemistry: Polymers, Corrosion, and Water Analysis
Preparation and Applications of PMMA
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), also known as acrylic glass, is prepared by the addition polymerization (free radical mechanism) of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) monomers using a benzoyl peroxide initiator at 60°C–80°C.
Reaction:
n[CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3] —Peroxide/Δ→ [—CH2—C(CH3)(COOCH3)—]n
The peroxide decomposes into free radicals, opening the double bond of the MMA to form a linear polymer chain.
Properties: High optical clarity (92% light transmission,

Lanthanide Separation, Trans Effect, and Inner Sphere Mechanism
Separation of Lanthanides by Ion Exchange
Lanthanides are challenging to separate due to their similar chemical properties and common +3 oxidation state. Due to lanthanide contraction, their ionic radii decrease gradually from La³⁺ to Lu³⁺. The ion exchange method is highly efficient for the purification of individual lanthanides.
Principle
This method relies on slight differences in the stability of complexes formed with agents like EDTA, ammonium citrate, or α-hydroxyisobutyric acid (α-HIBA)

A1. The Agency Relationship in Public Companies
An agency relationship exists when a principal hires an agent to make decisions on their behalf. In a publicly listed company, shareholders are the principals (owners), and managers and directors are the agents (operators).
Why It Arises
It stems from the separation of ownership and control. Listed companies have thousands of dispersed shareholders who delegate management to professionals.
The Agency Problem
Managers may pursue personal interests over shareholder

1. Basic Probability Rules (7.2)
Probability of an Event: P(A) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes) = n(A) / n(E)
Probability Range: 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1
P(A) = 0 means the event is impossible.
P(A) = 1 means the event is certain to occur.
Complementary Events (Not A): P(A’) = 1 – P(A) OR P(A) + P(A’) = 1
General Addition Formula (For any two events A and B): P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
Mutually Exclusive Events: If A and B cannot

Introduction
A company is an artificial legal person created under the Companies Act, 2017. Like a natural person, a company may also come to an end. The legal process through which a company ends its existence is called winding up. During this process, the company’s business is stopped, its assets are collected and sold, its debts and liabilities are paid, and any remaining property is distributed among the shareholders. After the completion of these legal formalities, the company is dissolved and

Efficiency vs. Effectiveness
- Efficiency: Doing things right (maximizing output, minimizing inputs, costs, and waste).
- Effectiveness: Doing the right things (achieving goals and customer needs).
A combination of High Efficiency + High Effectiveness is ideal. Reaching goals but being wasteful means the process is effective but not efficient. Conversely, being cheap and fast with the wrong goal or product means it is efficient but not effective.
