(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical equation to show that the given accident causes injury to the clothing involved is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A common type of nylon is synthesised from the condensation reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. Adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, act as monomers in the synthesis of nylon.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical equation to show that the given accident causes injury to the clothing involved is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A common type of polyester is Dacron. This is prepared by the condensation reaction between $\text{1,4-}$ dicarboxylic acid and ethylene glycol. In polyesters the monomer units are connected to each other through ester linkage.
