A polymer (X) is used for making handles of utensils. Polymer (X) can be prepared from which of the following monomers?
Show Hint
\[
\boxed{
\text{Phenol}+\text{Formaldehyde}
\longrightarrow
\text{Bakelite}
}
\]
Bakelite is widely used for electrical switches, plugs and utensil handles.

- Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
- Phenol and formaldehyde
- Hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid
- Lactic acid type monomers
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Identify the polymer used for utensil handles.
Handles of cooking utensils are commonly made from
\[
\boxed{\text{Bakelite}}
\]
because it is a thermosetting polymer and a poor conductor of heat.
Step 2: Identify the monomers. Bakelite is obtained by condensation polymerization of \[ \boxed{\text{Phenol}} \] and \[ \boxed{\text{Formaldehyde (HCHO)}.} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
Step 2: Identify the monomers. Bakelite is obtained by condensation polymerization of \[ \boxed{\text{Phenol}} \] and \[ \boxed{\text{Formaldehyde (HCHO)}.} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
