Compute the repeat unit molecular weight for nylon 6,6.
You may want to use information found in Table 14.3. Atomic weights for several elements are included in the following table:
Carbon
12.01 g/mol
Chlorine
35.45 g/mol
Fluorine
19.00 g/mol
Hydrogen
1.008 g/mol
Oxygen
16.00 g/mo
| Carbon | 12.01 g/mol |
| Chlorine | 35.45 g/mol |
| Fluorine | 19.00 g/mol |
| Hydrogen | 1.008 g/mol |
| Oxygen | 16.00 g/mo |
Solution
Chemical formula of Nylon 6,6 is
(C12H22N2O2)n
So repeat unit molecular weight will be = 12(At. wt of C) + 22(At. wt of H) + 2(At. wt of N) +2(At. wt of O)
= 12(12.01)+22(1.008)+2(14)+2(16)
= 226.296 g/mol
