Question

Which of the following is true about Ebonite ?

• A. Ebonite Is A Natural Rubber
• B. Ebonite is a synthetic rubber
• C. Ebonite Is Highly Vulcanized Rubber
• D. None Of These

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Ebonite Is Highly Vulcanized Rubber

Explanation of the correct option

(C)Ebonite Is Highly Vulcanized Rubber.

• The chemical process in which the rubber is heated with sulphur, accelerated, and activator ${140}^{°}-160°\mathrm{C}$ is known as vulcanization.
• It involves the hardening of rubbers.
• Ebonite is a highly vulcanized rubber that results in very hard rubber obtained by natural rubber material processing.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

(A)Ebonite Is A Natural Rubber.

• Ebonite is obtained by processing the natural rubber for a long period of time with sulfur and high temperature.

(B)Ebonite is a synthetic rubber.

• Ebonite is artificially prepared by the processing of natural rubber for a long period of time.

Hence, the option (C) is correct., Ebonite is a highly vulcanized rubber is true.
