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.
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).
