Questions and Answers List

level questions: Condensation Polymerisation

QuestionAnswer
What does Condensation Polymerisation Involved?-This simply has 2 Different Types of Monomers being Involved
-Why does Water come out after the Reaction?-This is because the Bonds that allow the Polymer to form has Atoms being Lost, that Conveniently react to make Water
How is a Polyester formed? What gets Lost to make Water here?-This is when Carboxylic Acid Monomers react with Alcohol Monomers [Di-Carboxylic + Di-ol] -The OH from the Carboxylic Acid is Taken Away -The H from the Alcohol, thats Attached to the Oxygen, is Taken Away
How is a Polyamides formed? What gets Lost to make Water here?-This is when Carboxylic Acid Monomers reacts with Amine Monomers [Di-Carboxylic + Di-Amine] -The OH from the Carboxylic Acid is Taken Away -2 Hydrogens, that is Bonded to Nitrogen, is Taken Away
How can you make Nylon-6,6 in a Lab?-First, mix 1,6-Di-Aminohexan in Water in a Beaker -In a another Beaker, mix 1,6-Hexanedioyl Di-Chloride in an Organic Solvent -Pour the Solutions onto Each other, and try to not Mix it, as Nylon is Formed at the Border of the 2 Solutions -You can Extract the Border Layer using Tweezers and Wrapping it around the Instrument, making a Thread
What are the Naturally Occurring Polymers in Biology?-DNA: A Complex Molecule that contains Genetics -It has 2 Stands, made from Nucleotides Monomers that Bond via a Polymerisation Reaction. -It has 4 Different Nucleotide Monomers: A for Adenosine G for Guanosine, C for Cytidine and T for Thymidine -Amino Acids also can make Polymers, which are known as Proteins [They are Polyamides- They make Water] -Carbohydrates also make Starch and Cellulose, which again are Polymers
