Which of the following are biodegradable polymers?

0%
Nylon - $6,\: 6$
0%
PHBV
0%
Nylon - $2$ - Nylon - $6$
0%
Polychloroprene

Explanation

$\text {Biodegradation}:$ The backbone of the polymer is hydrolytically unstable. That is, the polymer is unstable in a water based environment. This is the prevailing mechanism for polymers degradation.
Water penetrates the bulk of the device, attacking the chemical bonds in the amorphous phase and converting long polymer chains into shorter water-soluble fragments.

Poly (

$3$ -hydroxybutyrate-co-

$3$ -hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) is a polyhydroxyalkanoate-type polymer. It is biodegradable, nontoxic, biocompatible plastic produced naturally by bacteria and a good alternative for many non-biodegradable synthetic polymers. It is a thermoplastic linear aliphatic polyester. When disposed, PHBV degrades into carbon dioxide and water. .

Nylon-

$2$ -nylon-

$6$ is a biodegradable polymer, it is also hydrolytically unstable. So, the bonds are broken and hence, the molecular weight of the polymer is lost.
It has

$-NH-CO-$ bond which is formed from by the removal of

$H_2O$ molecule.

0%
Butyl rubber
0%
Nitrile rubber
0%
ABS plastic
0%
SBR

Explanation

The polymers Nitrile rubber, ABS plastic and SBR contains

$1,\: 3$ -butadiene as one of the monomers.

Butyl rubber is copolymer of isobutylene and isoprene.

Nitrile rubber (Buna - N) is copolymer of acrylonitrile and

$1,\: 3$ -butadiene.

$1,\: 3$ -butadiene and acrylonitrile.

$1,\: 3$ -butadiene and styrene.

Polymerisation of buta -

$1,\:3$ - diene by free radical mechanism gives___________.

0%
trans - $1,\: 4$ - Polybutadiene
0%
cis - $1, \:4$ - Polybutadiene
0%
Polyvinyl polyethene
0%
Polyallyl polythene

Explanation

$1,\:3$ - Butadiene is an organic compound that is a simple conjugated diene hydrocarbon (dienes have two carbon-carbon double bonds).
Polybutadiene forms by linking many

$1,\:3$ - butadiene monomers to make a much longer polymer chain molecule. In terms of the connectivity of the
polymer chain, butadiene can polymerize in three different ways, called cis, trans and vinyl.
The cis and trans forms arise by connecting the butadiene molecules end-to-end, so-called

$1,\:4$ -polymerisation. The properties of the resulting isomeric forms of polybutadiene differ. For example, "high cis" - polybutadiene has a high elasticity and is very popular, whereas the so-called "high trans" is a plastic crystal with few useful applications. The vinyl content of polybutadiene is typically no more than a few percents. In addition to these three kinds of connectivity, polybutadienes differ in terms of their branching and molecular weights.
Hence, options A, B & C are correct.

$N_1,\ N_2, \ N_3,....$ are the number of molecules with molecular masses

$M_1,\ M_2,\ M_3, ...$ respectively, then mass average molar mass is expressed as :

0%
$\dfrac{\sum NiMi}{\sum Ni}$
0%
$\dfrac{\sum Mi^2}{\sum Ni}$
0%
$\dfrac{\sum NiMi}{\sum Mi}$

Explanation

Polymer molecules come in different sizes (chain lengths for linear polymers) even ones of the same type.

So, the average molecular mass will depend on the method of averaging. The number average molecular mass is the ordinary arithmetic mean or average of the molecular masses of the individual macromolecules.

Thus, the right equation for mass average molar mass measurement is

$\dfrac{\sum NiMi^2}{\sum NiMi}$ .

depression in freezing point
0%

0%
1, 3
0%
1, 6
0%
2, 4

Explanation

3 and 5 are addition polymers:
Addition polymers form:

When unsaturated carbon (organic) molecules react to form a long chain polymer molecule
No small molecules or atoms are eliminated during the reaction chloroethene (vinyl chloride) $CH_2=CHCl$ monomer forms polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) $-[-CH_2-CHCl-]n-$ (Tetrafluoroethene (tetrafluoroethylene))

No. of moles of

$CaC_2$ in 64 Kg =1000 mole= No. of moles of

$C_2H_2$ formed= No. of moles of

Arrange the following monomers in order of decreasing ability to undergo cationic polymerisation.

$CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(NO_2)$
II.

$CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(CH_3)$
III.

$CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(OCH_3)$

0%
$I > II > III$
0%
$II > I > II$
0%
$III > II > I$
0%
$I > III > II$

Explanation

Electron releasing groups such as

$-CH_3, -OCH_3$ activate the monomer towards cationic polymer as it stabilizes the carbocation formed. On the other hand,

$-NO_2$ is an electron-withdrawing group. So, it reduces the stability of carbocation formed.

Thus, the correct order is:

$CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(OCH_3) > CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(CH_3) >CH_2=CH-C_6H_4(NO_2)$ .
