Take the repeat unit of nylon 6 as (113 g/mol) and of nylon 6,6 as (226 g/mol). Two samples, one of each polymer, both have molar mass . The ratio of degree of polymerisation (number of repeat units), nylon 6 : nylon 6,6, is

  1. A2 : 1
  2. B1 : 2
  3. C1 : 1
  4. D4 : 1

Answer: A

DP of nylon 6 = 22600/113 = 200; DP of nylon 6,6 = 22600/226 = 100. The ratio is 200 : 100 = 2 : 1.
