The two monomers for the synthesis of Nylon 6, 6 are

Multiple Choice Options

  • A HOOC(CH2)6COOH, H2N(CH2)4NH2
  • B HOOC(CH2)4COOH, H2N(CH2)6NH2
  • C HOOC(CH2)4COOH, H2N(CH2)4NH2
  • D HOOC(CH2)6COOH, H2N(CH2)6NH2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Nylon −6, 6 is an amide polymer.

Amide polymer is created using the monomer of amine and acid.

Nylon − 6, 6 is created using 6 carbon amine and 6 carbon acid.

So, the amine is,

      H2N − (CH2)6 − NH2

and the acid is,

      HOOC(CH2)4COOH
