Question
Polycondensation
(a) Assume a polyesterification is conducted in the absence of solvent or catalyst and that the monomers are present in stoichiometric ratios. Calculate the time (min) required to obtain a number-average degree of polymerization of 50given that the initial dicarboxylic acid concentration is 3 mol L-1 and that the polymerization rate constant is 10-2 L mol-1 s-1.
(b) Plot the maximum number-average degree of polymerization Xn against various molar ratios r of carboxylic acid and alcohol for a range of different ratios. (Choose the sensible ratios r yourself)
(c) We add now various amounts of the following compounds to the mixture:
· What structure would your polymer have?
· What do you need to consider if you want to achieve high molecular weights?
· How does the amount of this multifunctional compound influence the structure and solubility of the final product?
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and the question is about polycondensation. The question discusses polyesterification with monomers in stoichiometric ratios and the structure of the polymer thus obtained. The solution discusses this in detail.

This was my first time with TheReliableTutor.com and I’m happy coz I got the assignment exactly the way I wanted. I didn’t need to change or add anything. Thank you so much guys and I look forward to contact you again for more assignments.
I really needed help writing my power engineering assignment for my MS in Electrical Engineering program but I did not want to pay a fortune for it either. At HwA I have found the perfect solution for my power engineering assignment questions at a price that is reasonable. There is no compromise in the quality of the assignments even if they have low prices as compared to the other online assignment help providers that I have seen.
You guys never fail to surprise me. Thanks for helping me with my finance assignment.
I had few hours to submit my Role of Telecommunications in IT assignment and I was panicking to finish it. But no matter how much effort or research I was not getting the standard that I was aiming for. I put my faith in TheReliableTutor.com and what can I say its been an amazing journey ever since. The quality of the paper was exactly what my professor was looking for and it has helped improve my grades a lot.
I am very panicky about deadlines. I was using another service prior to TheReliableTutor.com and they often missed the deadlines. That is why I shifted to TheReliableTutor.com and have never had reason to complain again.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
