Write the names and structures of the mo | Class 12 Chemistry Chapter Polymers, Polymers NCERT Solutions

Question:

Write the names and structures of the monomers of the following polymers:

(i) Buna-S  (ii) Buna-N

(iii) Dacron  (iv) Neoprene

Answer:

 

Polymer

Monomer

Structure of monomer

i

Buna-S

1, 3-butadiene

CH2 = CH – CH = CH2

Styrene

C6H5CH = CH2

ii

Buna-N

1, 3-butadiene

CH2 = CH – CH = CH2

Acrylonitrile

CH2 = CH – CN

iii

Neoprene

Chloroprene

iv

Dacron

Ethylene glycol

HOH2C –CH2OH

Terephthalic acid

1) Buna-S (styrene butadiene rubber) - It is obtained by the polymerization of Buta-1, 3 -diene and styrene in the ratio of 3:1 in the presence of sodium. It is used for making automobile tyres and footwear.

 2) Buna-N (Nitrile rubber)- It is obtained by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile in the presence of a peroxide catalyst. It is used for making oil seals, manufacture of hoses and tank linings.

3) Dacron – It is obtained by the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terphthalic acid.

4) Neoprene –It is prepared by the free radical polymerization of chloroprene. It is used as insulator, for making belts, gaskets, hoses etc.
