(e) Pure liquid styrene (phenylethene) is polymerized by adding a soluble peroxide initiator. When the initial monomer concentration is 2.07 M and the peroxide concentration is 2 x 104 M, the initial rate of polymerization (vp) is 2.49 x 103 M min . The rate constant for the decomposition of the initiator (k; ) is 5.7 x 103 min!. (i) Determine the ratio kp/ (kt). State any assumptions. (ii) Calculate the expected number average molecular weight assuming termination takes place by mutual termination only.
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).
