Adipic acid react hexamethylenediamine to form

Correct answer: A. Nylon-6,6

  • A. Nylon-6,6
  • B. Bakelite
  • C. Nylon-6,8
  • D. Terylene

Explanation

The reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine results in the formation of Nylon-6,6, a type of polyamide. This occurs through a condensation polymerization process where the carboxylic acid groups of adipic acid react with the amine groups of hexamethylenediamine, forming amide linkages. The other options are incorrect because they involve different monomers or reaction mechanisms: Bakelite involves phenol and formaldehyde, Nylon-6,8 does not involve adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, and Terylene is a polyester made from different monomers.
