What is the order of reaction with respect to initiator, considering exclusive case of unimolecular termination?
What is the order of reaction with respect to initiator, considering exclusive case of unimolecular termination? Correct Answer 1
For exclusive unimolecular termination, Rt = kt1 Thus, the overall rate of polymerization is expressed as Rp = kp/kt1 (2fkd) Therefore, the initiator order is equal to 1.
