Interpretation: To determine the product that is formed by the combination of
Concept Introduction: Carboxylic acids have COOH
Answer to Problem 28LC
The product formed is amide and the
Explanation of Solution
The amide bond between the carboxylic acid and the amine molecule is formed by the elimination of the water molecule. The reaction will be as follows
So, the amide formed during this reaction will undergo polymerization. These molecules will add to each other resulting in the formation of polyamides. The general form of polyamides is as follows:
Where ‘m’ represents the number of units of the alkyl group and the ‘n’ represents the number of units of the whole molecule.
Examples of polyamide include Nylon which is used as a fabric. The structure of nylon is as follows:
This Nylon
Amide is a compound in which the amine is linked with the carbonyl group of the carboxylic group. The loss of water molecules will result in the formation of the amide bond.
