An elementary reaction is generally expressed as: dCa = -kC," dt where A is the species being depleted as the reaction progresses, k is the rate constant, and n is the order of reaction, usually referred to as the stoichiometric coefficient of the resulting product. For a polymerization reaction A> 3B, find the initial amount if after 30 seconds, A species is reduced to 5 moles/L within 3 minutes. Take the rate constant as 0.314 L²/(moľ²-min).

Give clear handwritten answer- Derive an expression for the time dependence of the degree of polymerization (the average number of monomer residues per polymer molecule) for a condensation polymerization in which the reaction is known to have rate law d[M]/dt = -k[M] 3 , where [M] represents the concentration of the monomer!
A particular reactant molecule "R" is capable of undergoing condensation and forming either a single closed loop (R-> L) or long chain polymer (R+R+R ->P). The rate law for the loop forming reaction is rate(loop) = kLoop[R]; the rate lw for the polymerization reaction is rate(poly) = kpoly[R]^2 a) a beaker with a starting concentration of R equals 0.50M at 60degrees. After 75 minutes of reacting, the concentration of L is 0.10M. Assuming no change in volume or temperature, find k(loop) b. At the 75 minute mark the remaing concentration of R is 0.398M. What can you conclude (qualitatively) about the magnitude of k(poly) relative to k(loop)?
