Consider the polymerization of ethylene to polyethylene. (Section 12.6) (a) What would you predict for the sign of the entropy change during polymerization Explain your reasoning. (b) The polymerization of ethylene is a spontaneous process at room temperature. What can you conclude about the enthalpy change during polymerization (c) Use average bond enthalpies (Table 8.4) to estimate the value of per ethylene monomer added. (d) Polyethylene is an addition polymer. By comparison, Nylon 66 is a condensation polymer. How would you expect for a condensation polymer to compare to that for an addition polymer? Explain.
