2. The anionic polymerization of styrene was performed using a 1.38 mol/L solution of styrene in cyclohexane at 40 °C. The polymerization was initiated by 100x10-5 mol/L of butyl lithium and a kinetic order dependence on initiator of 0.5 was observed with an apparent rate constant of 2.4x10-2 observed. The polymerization was run from t= 0 to t= 8000 and a data point collected every t = 200 intervals. (i) Plot [M] vs. time for this reaction.
