Question:

Polly Propylene has started two polymerization reactions. One flask contains a monomer that polymerizes by a chain-growth mechanism, and the other flask contains a monomer that polymerizes by a step-growth mechanism. When the reactions are terminated and the contents of the flasks analyzed, one flask contains a high-molecular-weight polymer and some monomer, but very little material of intermediate molecular weight. The other flask contains mainly material of intermediate molecular weight and very little monomer or high-molecular-weight material. Which flask contains which product? Explain.
