MCQ
In vulcanisation of rubber,
  • A
    Sulphur reacts to form new compound.
  • Sulphur cross links are introduced.
  • C
    Sulphur forms a very thin protective layer over rubber.
  • D
    All of the above.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Sulphur cross links are introduced.
In vulcanisation of rubber, sulphur cross links are introduced. Natural rubber is mixed with $3$ to $5\%$ sulphur and heated at $100−150^\circ C$ to form cross linking of cis$-1, 4$ polyisoprene chains through disulphide bonds $(-S-S-).$ Vulcanization of rubber makes it more strong, tough and elastic.
