90% of the caprolactam is converted to nylon-6 on its condensation polymerisation in the reactor maintained at a temperature of _____________ °C?

Correct answer: C. 250-280

  • A. -5
  • B. 10-30
  • C. 250-280
  • D. 500-600

Explanation

Caprolactam ring-opening polymerisation to nylon-6 is carried out at about 250 to 280°C. The other temperatures are either far too low for the reaction or impractically high for the polymer.
