A chain growth polymerization is conducted using 1.50 mmol of monomer, 0.0005 mmol of catalyst, and 0.0025 mmol of initiator. Calculate the number of repeat units in each polymer chain.
Homework Answers
Number of repeating units = mole of monomer / mole of initiator
Number of repeating units = 1.50 mmol / 0.0025 mmol
Number of repeating units = 600

The radical polymerization reaction creates a new stereocenter each time a monomer adds to the growing chain. The stereochemical configuration is random each time, meaning there are many different stereoisomers formed. Calculate the number of stereoisomers possible for a chain that has 8 stereocenters.

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a polymer using a Gilch polymerization of 2,5- bis(bromomethyl) - 1 -methoxy-4-(2-ethylhexyloxy) benzene, to investigate the polymer's photophysical properties, and to understand the mechanism of the polymerization reaction. Introduction Poly(p-phenylene vinylenes), or PPVS, are highly luminescent polymers that are used for a variety of commercial applications. Their general structure is shown in Figure . PPVS can be synthesized via a number of routes, including a Gilch polymerization reaction, which will be used...

Critical Thinking Questions: 2) The polymerization of ethylene ("monomer") with a radical initiator follows the same chain reaction. Please write the mechanism (all arrows) from ethylene (==ethene) to polyethylene). Start with an initiator of R-R. After breaking the initiator bond to your radicals, use either radical for your 1"' reaction with ethylene. Indicate repeating reactions by multiple arrows. Write the final product in a common short...
