How is dacron obtained from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid ?

Options

  1. ADacron is synthesized by mixing ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid and heating the mixture to form a solid
  2. BDacron is obtained by dissolving ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid in water and then precipitating the pol
  3. CDacron is produced through a condensation polymerization reaction between ethylene glycol and terephthalic aci
  4. DDacron is extracted from natural sources and does not involve ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid

Correct answer

C. Dacron is produced through a condensation polymerization reaction between ethylene glycol and terephthalic aci

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) Dacron is produced through a condensation polymerization reaction between ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, resulting in the formation of polyester chains.
