(e) Pure liquid styrene (phenylethene) is polymerized by adding a soluble peroxide initiator. When ial monomer concentration is 2.07 M and the peroxide concentration is 2 x 104 M, the initial polymerization (Vp) is 2.49 x 103 M min'. The rate constant for the decomposition of the er (k¡ ) is 5.7 x 10³ min'. termine the ratio kp/ (kt)*. State any assumptions. culate the expected number average molecular weight assuming termination takes place by mutual termination only.
