Help I don’t understand the mark scheme can u plz explain
The polyester joins together 200 molecules. BUT there are 119 "ester linkages" formed with the elimination of a water molecule. So the final mass of the polyester must be the mass of the 200 monomer molecules MINUS the mass of 199 water molecules.
