Polymerization Kinetics

Polymerization is a chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that diverge in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes. Polymerization is generally classified into step-growth and chain polymerization. Polymers are categorized into linear polymer and cross-linked polymers that are produced either by condensation or additional polymerization.

Question

100%

6. The polymerization between equimolar amounts of a diol and diacid proceeds with an
equilibrium constant of 200. What will be the expected degree of polymerization and
extent of reaction if the reaction is carried out in a closed system without removal of
the by-product water? To what level must [H2O] be lowered in order to obtain a
degree of polymerization of 200 if the initial concentration of carboyxl groups is 2 M?
