Q43

The two monomers for the synthesis of Nylon 6, 6 are

A HOOC(CH2)6COOH, H2N(CH2)4NH2

B HOOC(CH2)4COOH, H2N(CH2)6NH2

C HOOC(CH2)4COOH, H2N(CH2)4NH2

D HOOC(CH2)6COOH, H2N(CH2)6NH2

Correct Answer

Option B

Solution

Nylon $-$ 6, 6 is an amide polymer.

Amide polymer is created using the monomer of amine and acid.

Nylon $-$ 6, 6 is created using 6 carbon amine and 6 carbon acid.

So, the amine is, H2N $-$ (CH2)6 $-$ NH2 and the acid is, HOOC(CH2)4COOH

Q44

The polymer

\mathrm{X}

- consists of linear molecules and is closely packed. It is prepared in the presence of triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride under low pressure. The polymer

\mathrm{X}

is-

A High density polythene

B Polytetrafluoroethane

C Low density polythene

D Polyacrylonitrile

Correct Answer

Option A

Solution

The polymer X described in the question is synthesized using triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride under low pressure.

This is a clear indication that the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is used, which is typically employed in the synthesis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

High-density polyethylene is made up of linear molecules that pack closely together, giving the material its high density.

This is in contrast to low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which has a branched structure that prevents the chains from packing closely together.

So, the polymer X is : Option A: High-density polyethylene.

Q45

Which is true about Buna-N?

A It is a linear polymer of 1, 3-butadiene.

B It is obtained by copolymerization of 1, 3-butadiene and styrene.

C It is obtained by copolymerization of 1, 3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.

D The suffix N in Buna-N stands for its natural occurrence.

Correct Answer

Option C

Solution

It is copolymerization of 1, 3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
