Question 6 • CT-Chemistry B

Rubber is manufactured from latex that is produced from rubber trees. Which statement about rubber is true?

Answer
A
It is made from the polymerization of a long chain of aromatic molecules.
B
It is made from the polymerization of a short chain of chloroprene molecules.
C
It is made from the polymerization of a long chain of alkene molecules.
D
It is made from the polymerization of a short chain of styrene molecules.

Explanation

Natural rubber is mainly polyisoprene, formed when many isoprene molecules join through polymerization. Isoprene is an alkene, so the true statement is that rubber is made by polymerizing alkene molecules. Chloroprene and styrene are used to make synthetic rubbers, not natural rubber.
