8. Stepwise polymerization reaction commonly proceeds by a condensation reaction and chain reaction proceeds by the chain carriers. (a) Which reaction rate is usually faster? (2 points) (b) What is reaction order for stepwise polymerization? (2 points) (C) In stepwise polymerization, if there were initially 1000 A groups and there are now only 10, how many unit long on average of each polymer can we obtain? (2 points) (d) Consider a polymer formed by a stepwise process with k = 1.00 dm3 mol's-1 and an initial monomer concentration of [A]o = 4.00 x 10-3 mol dm? What is the degree of polymerization at t = 1.5 x 104 s? (hint: =1+k:t[A]o) (3 points) (e) What is the fraction condensed groups (p) of the abovementioned polymer? (hint: -1->) (3 points) (3 p<><>
