Please solve following Q with complete step by step
solution
Initiator undergoes a first order reaction to produce a radical
that initiates the reaction. [ M l - i - 0 - ^
Half life of a first order reaction = ln2/k where k is the rate
constant.
In this case 9 hours = 0.693/ki
ki
= .077/hour = 2 x 10-5 /second
rate of polymerisation = kp(fki/kt)1/2[inititaor]1/2[Monomer]
Molecular Mass of acrylamide = 71 gram/mol
kp2/kt = 22 L/mol/sec f = 0.3 [inititator] = 0.1M [Monomer] = 100/71 M = 1.41 M
Substituing these values,
= ( 2 2 ) 1 / 2( 1 . 4 1 ) [ ( 0 . 3 ) ( 2 χ 1 0
~ 5) ( 1 0 -1) ] 1 /2
= 5.1 x10-3 moles monomer/I/sec
= (5.1 x10-3) ( 7 1 )
rate (initially) = 0.36 g polymer/L/sec.
