Identify the monomers used to prepare bakelite from the following.

Options

  1. Aphenol , chloroform
  2. Bformaldehyde , NaOH
  3. Cphenol , methanal
  4. Daniline , urea

Correct answer

C. phenol , methanal

Step-by-step solution

Bakelite is a condensation polymer formed by the reaction of phenol with formaldehyde in the presence of either an acid or a base catalyst. The IUPAC name of formaldehyde is methanal. Therefore, the monomers used to prepare bakelite are phenol and methanal. Answer: phenol , methanal
