Question

The molecular weight of nylon 6-10 can be controlled by adding monofunctional reactant. Assume that the ratio of diamine and diacid is 1:1 and that the reaction is carried out to completion. Find the molecular weight as a function of the amount of acetic acid added for 0 mol % acetic acid, 0.1 mol % acetic acid, 0.5 mol %1 acetic acid, and 1.0 mol % acetic acid, where the mole fraction of acetic acid is based on the moles of carboxylic acid groups in the mixture.

Answer 1

Answer:

Use Hell-Vohlard-Zelinsky method, in other words, use red phosphorus and 3 moles of chlorine.
