For acrylamide, $\frac{k_p^2}{k_t}=22$ liter $\frac{?}{molsec}$ at $25C$ and termination is by

coupling alone. At this temperature the half$-$life of isobutyryl peroxide is

$9\mathrm{.}0h$ and its efficiency in methanol can be taken to be equal to $0\mathrm{.}3.$ A

solution of $100\frac{g}{?}$ liter acrylamide in methanol is polymerized with ${10}^{-1}M$

isobutyryl peroxide.

$($a$)$ What is the initial steady$-$state rate of polymerization?

$($b$)$ How much polymer has been made in the first $10$min of reaction in $1$

liter of solution?
