Question: Into a 2 5 0 ml round bottomed flask equipped with a stirrer and gas inlet and outlet tube. 1 0 ml of pure acrylonitrile

Into a 250 ml round bottomed flask equipped with a stirrer and gas inlet and outlet tube. 10 ml of pure acrylonitrile and 6 ml of reducing agent are dissolved in 100 ml distilled water. Nitrogen is bubbled through this solution for about (1)/(2) h.5,7 ml ceric ammonium nitrate stock solution (2M) is added dropwise to the reaction mixture in about 20 min by dropping funnel. The mixture is stirred at 30\deg C for about 1 h. The precipitated polymer is filtered, washed with water then with methanol and hot methanol and dried at 50\deg C in vacuum. The amount of polymer formed is 6.5 grams. Calculate the efficiency.
