JEE PYQ: Biomolecules And Polymers Question 63

Question 63 - 2019 (12 Jan Shift 1)

The two monomers for the synthesis of nylon 6, 6 are:

(1) $\text{HOOC}(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{COOH}$, $\text{H}_2\text{N}(\text{CH}_2)_6\text{NH}_2$

(2) $\text{HOOC}(\text{CH}_2)_6\text{COOH}$, $\text{H}_2\text{N}(\text{CH}_2)_6\text{NH}_2$

(3) $\text{HOOC}(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{COOH}$, $\text{H}_2\text{N}(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{NH}_2$

(4) $\text{HOOC}(\text{CH}_2)_6\text{COOH}$, $\text{H}_2\text{N}(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{NH}_2$

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution

Adipic acid (having 6C) and hexamethylene diamine (having 6C). $\text{HOOC}(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{COOH} + \text{H}_2\text{N}(\text{CH}_2)_6\text{NH}_2 \to$ Nylon 6,6.
