  • question_answer
    When condensation product of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid is heated to \[553\,K\,({{80}^{o}}C)\] in an atmosphere of nitrogen for about 4-5 hours, the product obtained is [DCE 2002; MHCET 2004]

    A)                 Solid polymer of nylon 66

    B)                 Liquid polymer of nylon 66

    C)                 Gaseous polymer of nylon 66

    D)                 Liquid polymer of nylon 6

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               The condensation polymerisation of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid is done in solution form by interface technique. In this liquid nylon polymer is obtained.                    \[n\,.\,{{H}_{2}}N-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-N{{H}_{2}}\]                    \[nHOOC-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-COOH\,\underset{-n{{H}_{2}}O}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Polymerisation}}}}\,\]\[{{[-HN-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-\underset{\text{Nylon}}{\mathop{NHCO}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-CO-]}_{n}}\]
