Question
How is dacron obtained from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid?
Advertisements
Solution 1
The condensation polymerisation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid leads to the formation of dacron
Solution 2
Dacron is obtained by condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the elimination of water molecules. The reaction is carried out at 420 – 460 K in presence of a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc acetate and antimony trioxide.

Assertion: Polyamides are best used as fibres because of high tensile strength.
Reason: Strong intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding within polyamides) lead to close packing of chains and increase the crystalline character, hence, provide high tensile strength to polymers
