#6: Polystyrene (CAS# 9003-53-6) can be produced in 60°C toluene using a di-t-butylperoxide initiator. For a solution containing 0.04-mol/L of initiator and a 2-mol/L monomer concentration, Ri and R, are 1 6x10-10 M/s and 6.4x10-7 M/s, respectively. Calculate fka and kp/k/ for this reaction scenario.

A 0.9000-g of KIO3 is dissolved in 500-mL distilled water. A 50.0-mL aliquot portion was run down into an Erlenmeyer flask and 2-g of KI and 2-mL of 6M HCl were added to it. Directly after, the solution was titrated with a 24.80-mL Na2S2O3 solution to a faint yellow solution. Starch TS was added to the resulting solution and the titration with the Na2S2O3 solution continued wherein an additional 1.33-mL was required to bring the blue color of the solution to disappear completely.
