Problem 1 A large scale polycondensation reaction of a diol and diacid (which yields what product?) is performed at 200C. At various intervals, samples are removed, introduced into tared conical flasks, quenched in a dry ice/acetone mixture, weighed, dissolved and titrated with a standard 0.1MNaOH solution. From the results given below, determine whether this was a catalyzed or non-catalyzed reaction. Bonus: Is this a batch-type or continuous-phase type experiment? Comment on the size ratio between samples and total volume of the system. Problem 2 Show that for a strong acid-catalyzed polyesterification of an equimolar reaction mixture ( 1:1 diacid:dialcohol), the time required to go from p=0.98 to p=0.99 is approximately equal to the time required to reach p=0.98
