Options
- A. Styrene and phosgene
- B. Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
- C. Butadiene and ethylene glycol
- D. Acrylamide and urea
Answer
B. Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
Step-by-step solution
Glyptal is a condensation polymer belonging to the class of polyesters. It is synthesized by the condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol) and phthalic acid (benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid). The polymerization reaction involves the elimination of water molecules to form ester linkages between the monomers. Answer: Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
