Question

Nylon 6,6 is a polymer with the following structure: O O O O || || || || -C-(CH2)4-C-N-(CH2)6-N-C-(CH2)4-C-N-(CH2)6-N- | | | | H H H H (a) Circle an amide linkage in the structure above. (b) Draw TWO monomers that could have formed this polymer. (c) Nylon 6 is formed from the monomer H2N-(CH2)5-CO2H. (i) Name this monomer. (ii) Draw THREE repeating units of the Nylon 6 polymer chain. (d) Nylon is used for making ropes for climbing and abseiling. The ropes come with a warning label attached, such as that shown below. WARNING!!! Nylon Rope: Do not allow to come in contact with acids or their vapours Discuss why this warning label is attached to nylon rope when purchased. Include in your answer: - the type of reaction that would occur - relevant organic structural formulae - any changes to the properties of the nylon rope
