When hexane dioic acid is heated with hexamethylene diamine, the compound formed is:
- A
Polypeptide
- B
Addition polymer
- C
Ester
- D
Nylon 6,6
Nylon-6,6 is made by polymerising hexanedioic acid and hexamethylene diamine (adipic acid).
Incorrect. Polypeptides are formed by the condensation of amino acids, not hexane dioic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Incorrect. Addition polymers are formed through the repeated addition of monomers, not the condensation of hexane dioic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Incorrect. Esters are formed by the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, not hexane dioic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Nylon-6,6 is made by polymerising hexanedioic acid and hexamethylene diamine (adipic acid).
