Nylons are strong sythetic fibers commonly used to make clothing and other goods. one of the most common nylons, nylon 66, is made by the condensation reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (hexane-1,6-diamine). modify the monomers below to create one repeat unit of the polymer. what other, small molecule is produced in this reaction? give the formula of the compound (not the name).

The small molecule produced in this condensation reaction is water.

Formula of the compound is given by

Explanation:

Nylon is a poly amide which is formed by the condensation reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine.

A reaction is called a condensation reaction when it involves removal of small molecules like water to form product.

In this condensation reaction a molecule of water is removed between the monomers to form a repeating unit of polymer. This process is clearly explained by the figure below.    

We can see that the -OH group from the acid and -H atom from amine is removed to form a -CONH- group known as amide group.In effect a water molecule is removed in the formation of Nylon-6,6.

Since the monomers are connected by an amide group the polymer thus formed is a poly amide .We can see from the attachment that the formula of the polymer formed is .
