How much HCl is produced during formation of Nylon 6,6?

  • #1
I was wondering if excess hydrochloric acid was produced during the reaction to make Nylon 6,6 (interfacial polymerization)?
 
  • #2
No, excess hydrochloric acid is not produced during the reaction to make Nylon 6,6. The reaction is an interfacial polymerization between two monomers: adipic acid and 1,6-hexanediamine. These react to form a polyamide which does not involve any hydrochloric acid.
