Question 32 (Textile Engineering & Fibre Science)

The average molecular mass, in g/mol, of nylon-6 polymer, having average degree of polymerization of 100, is ____11299 to 11370_____.
(given S=32 amu, N=14 amu, O=16 amu, C=12 amu, H=1amu)

[Show Answer]

Write Here

Given in the question:
Molecular mass of O=16

Molecular mass of H=1

Molecular mass of C=12

Molecular mass of N=14

Molecular mass of S=32

Molecular formula of Nylon 6 polymer is C₆H₁₁NO

i.e. , Molecular mass of Nylon6 polymer=6*12+11*1+14+16

Molecular mass of Nylon6 polymer=72+11+14+16

Molecular mass of Nylon6 polymer=113

Now by formula–

Average molecular mass(g/mol)=Average degree of polymerisation x Molecular mass of Nylon6 polymer

Average molecular mass(g/mol)=100 x 113

Average molecular mass(g/mol)=11300 (Answer)
