It is advised to restrict the use of plastic, Why?

Since plastic takes several years to decompose, it is not environment friendly. It causes environmental pollution. Besides, the burning process in the synthetic material is quite slow and it does not get completely burnt easily. In the process it releases lots of poisonous fumes into the atmosphere causing air pollution.

Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

Nylon It was the first fully synthetic fibre. Nylon fibre was strong, elastic and light. Nylon is also used for making parachutes and ropes for rock climbing. A nylon thread is actually stronger than a steel wire.

The material which is commonly used for making kitchen containers is

PET is “polyethylene terephthalate”. PET as a plastic is very light weight and is commonly used for making kitchen containers.

Consider the following statements and choose the incorrect one:

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

Nylon is another man-made fibre. In 1931, it was made without using any natural raw material (from plant or animal). Nylon is also used for making parachutes and ropes for rock climbing. A nylon thread is actually stronger than a steel wire.

In which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

Cotton (like most plants) is made of a substance called cellulose, which contains hydrogen - an essential ingredient in water. It does this because the hydrogen links in the cotton react to water, causing the fabric to bend out of shape and form wrinkles in the cloth.

Consider the following statements and choose the incorrect one:

Plastics and synthetic both are non-biodegradable. Burning of plastics and synthetic fabrics produces lots of poisonous gases causing air pollution. So, it is not advised to burn plastic and synthetic fibres.

Boojho is writing some statements, choose the correct statement and help him:

Plastic is non-reactive material. Thermoplastic when molded once can be softened on heating. It has very high risk to wear synthetic clothes while working in the kitchen. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Which of the following represents the correct match?

Nylon is fibre, PVC is thermoplastic, bakelite is thermosetting plastic.

Paheli is writing some statement which is given by her teacher. Would you help him to choose the correct statements?

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Boojho appeared in class test where he wrote some statements but he confused to know the incorrect statement. Would you help him to know that?

Here, all these statements are correct except option [A]. “Rayon” is prepared by using wood pulp. Rayon is also known as semi-synthetic fibre, because this fibre is obtained by chemical treatment of wood pulp. Hence, your answer will be option [A].

In which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

Rayon is also known as artificial silk. Rest of all statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [B].

The most suitable material for the preparation of handles of cooking utensils is:

Bakelite is used for making the handles of various cooking utensils because it is a poor conductor of heat and does not become soft on getting heated.

Consider the given statements and choose the incorrect one:

Wood pulp is a soft but wet mass of fibre obtained from wood. Wood pulp contains a large amount of natural polymer called “cellulose”. Rayon is man-made fibre from a natural material called cellulose (obtained from wood pulp). Nylon, polyester are fully synthetic fibres which do not require a natural material (like cellulose).

Boojho is writing some statements but he confused to know whether the statements are correct or not? Would you help him?

Rayon is man-made fibre prepared by chemical treatment. Rest of all statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [B].

Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

Nylon is another man-made fibre. In 1931, it was made without using any natural raw material (from plant or animal). Nylon is also used for making parachutes and ropes for rock climbing. A nylon thread is actually stronger than a steel wire.

Mohan is writing some statements, choose the incorrect statements and help him:

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Which is a thermosetting plastic?

Melamine is a thermosetting plastic which when molded once, cannot be softened and by heating.

In which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

The name nylon comes from the fact that it was developed in New York (NY) and London (LON).

Which of the following are thermosetting polymers?

There are some plastics which when moulded once, can-not be softened by heating. These are called thermosetting plastics. Two examples are “Bakelite” and “Melamine”. Bakelite is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It is used for making electrical switches, handles of various utensils, etc. Melamine is a versatile material. It resists fire and can tolerate heat better than other plastics. It is used for making floor tiles, kitchenware and fabrics which resist fire.

The similarity between artificial silk and cotton is that:

A fibre was obtained by chemical treatment of wood pulp (cellulose). This fibre was called rayon or artificial silk. Polymers occur in nature also. Cotton is a polymer called cellulose. Cellulose is made up of a large number of glucose units.

Consider the following statements and choose the correct statement(s):

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

“The synthetic fibre A is chemically a polyamide whereas the synthetic fibre B contains a large number of easter groups. Another synthetic fibres C is made of a polymer D the which consists of a large number of glucose units joined one after the other”. Which fibre is prepared from the natural raw material?

If you consider the statements there is written that “…Another synthetic fibres C is made of a polymer D the which consists of a large number of glucose units joined one after the other” it implies that “Fibre C” is prepared from the natural raw material.

Identification of fibres by burning their threads

Cotton:	Burns completely, leaving no residue.
Nylon:	Burns slowly; fabric shrinks after exposure to flame, forms hard beads and gives off a smell of burning hair.
Wool and Silk	Burns slowly, with a smell like that of burning hair but no beads are produced.
Polyester	Results are like nylon, except that black smoke is produced.
Rayon	Burns quickly with a smell of burning paper.
Acrylic	Burns slowly with a sooty flame; fabric shrinks from flame, and forms black beads.

Detergent

Leftover chemical substances obtained from petroleum products were treated with sulphuric acid to invent a new soap-like product known as detergent.

What is a polymer?

A long chain of molecules is called a polymer. It is made up of a large number of monomer molecules joined end to end to form a large molecule. There are many polymers that occur naturally, such as rubber, silk, wool and even cotton.

Which is the first man made synthetic polymer?

The first man-made synthetic fibre, nylon, was put into commercial production in 1939 by a team of scientists of the famous chemical company, E.I. Dupont de Nemours. Nylon derives its name from the first letter of ‘New York’ and first three letters of ‘London’, the two cities where it was simultaneously developed and marked.

What is Rayon?

Rayon is a type of synthetic (man-made) material that resembles silk in appearance.

What are the different forms of Terylene?

Terylene has wool-like texture, which is why it is often used to weave fabrics for making suits, trousers, etc. It is called terycot when blended with cotton, and terywool when mixed with wool.
