Q45 / 84 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Polymers

Which is used in the formation of nylon-6,6?

  • A
    Sulphurhexa fluoride
  • Correct answer
    B
    Adipic acid
  • C
    Sulphurous acid
  • D
    Phthalic acid

Solution

Nylon-6,6 is made from adipic acid.
Nylon 6,6 is synthesized by polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. Equivalent amounts of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid are combined with water in a reactor.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
