3. Consider the polymerization of styrene. A) What concentration ( mol/L) of benzoyl peroxide is required to polymerize a 1.00M solution of styrene to a number average molecular weight of 125,000g/mol at 60C ? Assume that termination occurs only by coupling, that no chain transfer occurs, and that the initiator efficiency is 100%. M.W. of styrene =104.15g/mol (Simplify this problem by using initial concentrations [M]0 and [I]o ) B) What is the maximum possible conversion? 3. Your answer will partially depend on the value you determine for half life for benzoyl peroxide (a value of 50 hours was used here) A) [I]o=7.76105mol/L B) Pmax=0.17
