The common acid used in the manufacture of rayon and plastic is :
methanoic acid
ethanoic acid
propanoic acid
butanoic acid
Name the compound/ compounds used in the preparation of Nylon-66.
ε-caprolactum
hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid
dimethyl terephthalate
hexamethylene diamine
When condensation product of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid is heated to 353 K (80° C) in an atmosphere of nitrogen for about 4-5 h, the product obtained is:
solid polymer of nylon 66
liquid polymer of nylon 66
gaseous polymer of nylon 66
Liquid polymer of nylon 6
If is the weight average molecular weight and is the number average molecular weight of a polymer, the poly disparity index (PDI) of the polymer is given by
B.
The ratio of weight average molecular weight and the number average molecular weight is called poly dispersity index (PDI).
PDI =
where,
= weight average molecular weight
= number average molecular weight
PDI is unity for natural monodispersed polymer but for synthetic polymers it is always greater than unity.
If the number average molecular weight and weight average molecular weight of a polymer are 40000 and 60000 respectively, the polydispersity index of the polymer will be
>1
<1
1
zero
