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.
