2. Obtain an equation describing how the degree of polymerization, which represents the average number of monomer residues in each polymer molecule, changes with time in a condensation polymerization reaction. In this scenario, the reaction follows a rate law given by d[M]/dt = -k[M]3, where [M] signifies the monomer concentration.
A particular reactant molecule "R" is capable of undergoing condensation and forming either a single closed loop (R-> L) or long chain polymer (R+R+R ->P). The rate law for the loop forming reaction is rate(loop) = kLoop[R]; the rate lw for the polymerization reaction is rate(poly) = kpoly[R]^2 a) a beaker with a starting concentration of R equals 0.50M at 60degrees. After 75 minutes of reacting, the concentration of L is 0.10M. Assuming no change in volume or temperature, find k(loop) b. At the 75 minute mark the remaing concentration of R is 0.398M. What can you conclude (qualitatively) about the magnitude of k(poly) relative to k(loop)?
An elementary reaction is generally expressed as: dC :-kC," dt where A is the species being depleted as the reaction progresses, k is the rate constant, and n is the order of reaction, usually referred to as the stoichiometric coefficient of the resulting product. For a polymerization reaction A> 3B, find the initial amount if after 30 seconds, A species is reduced to 5 moles/L within 3 minutes. Take the rate constant as 0.314 L?/(molľ²-min).
