2. Nylon 6, 6 is formed by the process of polymerization condensation of hexamethylene diamine [NH2 - (CH2) 6 - NH2] and adipic acid [HOOC - (CH2) 4 - COOH] with a byproduct in the form of water. The polymerization reaction that occurs is as follows:

nHOOC - (CH2) 4 - COOH + n H2N - (CH2) 6 - NH2 → [- OC - (CH2) 4 - CO - NH - (CH2) 6 - NH -]n + (2n - 1) H2O

Calculate the mass of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid needed to produce 20 kg of 6.6 nylon! (Ar H = 1 g / mol, C = 12 g / mol, O = 16 g / mol, N = 14 g / mol)

1. A polyamide was prepared by condensation polymerization of hexamethylene diamine (9.22g) with adipic acid (11.68g) at 280C. Analysis of the final polymer product showed that it contained 2,6*10^-3 mol of carboxylic acid groups and no amine groups. Calculate the degree of polymerization (Xn) of this polyamide and its number- average molecular weight (Mn).

polyamide was prepared by bulk polymerization of hexamethylene diamine (9.22 g) with adipic acid (11.68 g) at 280 °C. Analysis of the whole reaction product showed that it contained 2.6 × 10−3 mol of carboxylic acid groups. Evaluate the number-average molar mass Mn of the polyamide, and also estimate its weight-average molar mass Mw by assuming that it has the most probable distribution of molar mass. t The answers are that Mn= 8.58 kg/mol and Mw = 17.07 kg/mol and...
