Can someone describe aluminium manufacturing briefly? Can't find it's notes. That AlO+Bauxite.
Aluminium ore = Bauxite (Al2O3.2H2O) [melting point - 1900 C]
Bauxite is dissolved in cryolite (Na3AlF6) to lower the melting point [900 C]

The ineer surface of electrolytic chamber = graphite cathode
Graphite anodes are hung in the electrolyte.
Al3+ ions are reduced at cathode, and molten Aluminium is produced, which seeps out from a tap/or whatever, just an opening in the base of chamber.
O2- ions oxidised at anode. Oxygen there reacts with anode, though graphite is inert elctrode but this happens coz of high temperature, and CO2 is produced.

Learn the solubility chart. See reactions and compare how it is applied on reactions (identify whether salt is insoluble or soluble) and read up on how to prepare it. That's the best you can do atnow.

You still got 1.30 hours. More than enough :)

However, structures I have encountered till now have been same as urs eg. ethene to polyethene. Just remove double bond and put continuation bonds either side. Don't worry you'll do great :D
Man I think you're talking about Addition polymers... non of them have a double bond while condensation may contain e.g C=O bond
