What is the name of the condensation copolymer formed from ethylene glycol (a diol-a molecule with two alcohol groups) and para-terephthalic acid (a diacid-a molecule with two carboxy groups)?
A) Nylon 6,6
B) Kevlar
C) Polystyrene
D) Dacron
E) Styrofoam

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensation copolymer formed from ethylene glycol and para-terephthalic acid is called Dacron. Nylon 6,6 and Kevlar are also polymers, but they are formed from different monomers. Polystyrene and Styrofoam are not relevant to this question as they are not formed from ethylene glycol and para-terephthalic acid.
