61.
Which of the following sets contain only addition homopolymers?
A
Polythene, natural rubber, cellulose
B
Nylon, polyester, melamine resin
C
Teflon, bakelite, orlon
D
Neoprene, $$PVC,$$ polythene
Answer :
Neoprene, $$PVC,$$ polythene
Neoprene is made from chloroprene, $$PVC$$ is from vinyl chloride and polyethene is from ethene monomer.
62.
The difference in the densities of low density $$(LDP)$$ and high density polymers $$(HDP)$$ is due to the fact that
A
$$LDP$$ are highly branched structures while $$HDP$$ consists of closely packed linear molecules
B
$$LDP$$ are linear chains while $$HDP$$ are branched chains of polythene
C
both $$LDP$$ and $$HDP$$ are unbranched linear chains with different lengths
D
at high temperature, the density of polymer is reduced
Answer :
$$LDP$$ are highly branched structures while $$HDP$$ consists of closely packed linear molecules
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
63.
Which one of the following is not a condensation polymer?
A
Melamine
B
Glyptal
C
Dacron
D
Neoprene
Answer :
Neoprene
Condensation polymers are obtained by bifunctional molecules (monomers) with the elimination of smaller molecules whereas additional polymers are obtained from multiple bond containing monomers. Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene $$\left( {C{H_2} = C\left( {Cl} \right) - CH = C{H_2}} \right)$$ so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.
64.
Bakelite is obtained from phenol by reacting with
A
$${\left( {C{H_2}OH} \right)_2}$$
B
$$C{H_3}CHO$$
C
$$C{H_3}COC{H_3}$$
D
$$HCHO$$
Answer :
$$HCHO$$
Bakelite is formed by the reaction of formaldehyde $$\left( {HCHO} \right)$$ and phenol so the correct answer is (D).
65.
Which one of the following sets forms the biodegradable polymer ?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
Biodegradable polymer is nylon - 2, 6 which is copolymer of glycine $$\left( {{H_2}N - C{H_2} - COOH} \right)$$ and amino caproic acid $$\left( {{H_2}N - {{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_5} - COOH} \right).$$
66.
The major product of the following reaction is :
A
B
C
D
Answer :
67.
Which of the following polymer is a polyamide ?
A
Terylene
B
Nylon
C
Rubber
D
Vulcanised rubber
Answer :
Nylon
Nylon is a polyamide fibre. It is prepared by the condensation polymerisation of adipic acid $$\left( {HOOC{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_4}COOH} \right)$$ and hexamethylene diamine $$\left( {{H_2}N{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_6}N{H_2}} \right).$$
68.

No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
69.
The polymer used for optical lenses is :
A
polypropylene
B
polyvinyl chloride
C
polythene
D
polymethyl methacrylate
Answer :
polymethyl methacrylate
Polymethyl methacrylate is hard, fairly rigid. It is used for optical lenses.
70.
Example of condensation polymer is
A
Formaldehyde → meta-formaldehyde
B
Acetaldehyde → para-aldehyde
C
Acetone → mesityl oxide
D
Ethene → polyethene
Answer :
Acetone → mesityl oxide
Polymers formed by condensation process with elimination of small molecule like \[{{H}_{2}}O,C{{O}_{2}}\] etc. are known as condensation polymers.
