Expert verified

The reaction between sulfuric acid and nylon 66 hose is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Polyamides

Polyamides are polymers comprising recurring amide groups in the primary polymer chain. It is formed by connecting an amino group of one molecule with a carboxylic acid group of another molecule.

02

Equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and nylon 66 hose

The reaction between sulfuric acid and nylon 66 hose is given below.

The reaction between sulfuric acid and nylon 66 hose

Adipic acid is generated as the product of the reaction of sulfuric acid with nylon-6,6.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A chemist carried out two polymerisation reactions. One flask contained a monomer that polymerizes by a chain-growth mechanism, and the other flask contained a monomer that polymerizes by a step-growth mechanism. When the reactions were terminated early in the process and the contents of the flasks analysed, it was found that one flask contained a high-molecular-weight polymer and very little material of intermediate molecular weight. The other contained mainly material of intermediate molecular weight and very little high-molecular-weigh material. Which flask contained which product? Explain.

Draw a short segment of branched polystyrene.

Bakelite, a durable plastic used for the casing of early radios and TVs, was the first of the thermosetting polymers. It is a highly cross-linked polymer formed from the acid-catalyzed polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde. Because it is much darker than Melmac, Bakelite’s range of colors is limited. Propose a structure for Bakelite.

Draw the product of each of the following reactions:

Explain why, when a small amount of glycerol is added to the reaction mixture of toluene-2,6-diisocyanate and ethylene glycol during the synthesis of polyurethane foam, a much stiffer foam is obtained.
