A chemist carried out two polymerization reactions. One flask contained a monomer that polymerizes by a chain-growth mechanism, and the other flask contained a monomer that polymerizes by a step-growth mechanism. When the reactions were terminated early in the process and the contents of the flasks analyzed, it was found that one flask contained a high-molecular-weight polymer and very little material of intermediate molecular weight. The other contained mainly material of intermediate molecular weight and very little high-molecular-weight material. Which flask contained which product? Explain
What is the fraction of monomers (p) that have been used in a stepwise polymerisation reaction if the reaction solution started with a monomer concentration of 1.58 mol L-1 and now has a concentration of 0.231 mol L-1?
Research in the “unzipping” of poly(vinyl chloride) indicates that certain defects in the polymer contribute to the rate of unzipping. These defects are arrangements of atoms that are different from the arrangements in the repeating unit shown in the condensed formula. Researchers have found that defects involving allylic chlorides and tertiary chlorides, specifically, promote the reaction. Review the mechanism for the unzipping and explain this observation.

- Styrene can autoinitiate free radical polymerization and form polystyrene in the absence of an initiator. At temperatures >100 °C, radicals form due to homolysis of the T bond in the vinyl group. In the study of this reaction, researchers have found 1,2-diphenylcyclobutane in samples of heated styrene. The following mechanism for the formation of 1,2-diphenylcyclobutane has been proposed: Step 1: Homolysis of the vinyl T bond in a styrene molecule Step 2: Homolysis of the vinyl T bond in a second styrene molecule Step 3: Tail-to-tail addition of the radicals from Steps 1 and 2 Step 4: Radical coupling of the diradical formed in Step 3 (a) Use curved arrow notation to show the steps in this mechanism.
