Styrene ( 1 k g ) is polymerized at 2 0 C in a 1 L solution of dichloroethane by initiation with 4 * *

Styrene (1kg) is polymerized at 20C in a 1L solution of dichloroethane by initiation with 4**10-4MBCl3H2O. The polymerization proceeds with a rate constant of 7.6Lmol-1s-1. Chain transfer occurs to monomer with a rate constant of 0.12Lmol-1s-1. Also, spontaneous termination (rate constant =4.9**10-2s-1) and combination with counter ion (rate constant =6.7**10-3s-1) occurs. Calculate the number-average molecular weight of the final polymer with and without the addition of isopropylbenzene (0.3M,ktr,iso=0.34(L)mol-1s-1).
