Identify the polymer from the following that is obtained by using one of the -amino acids.
Options
- ANylon-6
- BPHBV
- CNylon₂⁻ nylon6
- DBakelite
Correct answer
C. Nylon₂⁻ nylon6
Step-by-step solution
Nylon-2-nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer synthesized from glycine and aminocaproic acid.
Glycine (H_2N-CH_2-COOH-amino acid, whereas aminocaproic acid (H_2N-(CH_2)_5-COOH-amino acid.
Nylon-6 is formed from caprolactam.
PHBV is formed from 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.
Bakelite is formed from phenol and formaldehyde.
Thus, Nylon-2-nylon-6 is the polymer obtained by using an -amino acid.
Answer: Nylon₂⁻ nylon6
Glycine (H_2N-CH_2-COOH-amino acid, whereas aminocaproic acid (H_2N-(CH_2)_5-COOH-amino acid.
