A solution 0.20 molar in monomer (styrene) and 4.0 X 10-3 M in benzoyl peroxide initiator is heated at 60°C. kp = 145 liter/mole-sec, kt = 7.0 X 107 liter/mole-sec, f = 1, and the initiator half-life is 44 hr.

a) Draw the structure of the final polymer. (5 pts)

b) Draw the reaction mechanism for the polymerization including chemical structures formed in each of the three critical steps. (15 pts)

c) How long will it take to achieve 50% conversion? (20 pts)

See explaination and attachment

Explanation:

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.

A polymer is a chemical compound with molecules bonded together in long, repeating chains.

polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.

i dont know

explanation:

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
