For some free-radical addition polymerizations, one need not include an initiator substance I. Rather, heating the monomer produces free radicals that initiate the polymer­ization. Suppose that I is absent and that the initiation reaction is 2M → 2R ∙ with rate constant ki. Find expressions for −d[M]/dt, [Rtot ∙], and 〈DP〉 by modifying the treatment in the text. Assume termination is by combination.
