Please show all the working out and structures for both questions

(a) A nitroxide-mediated polymerisation (NMP) reaction mixture contains 1.20g styrene (4), 10.0mg benzoyl peroxide (9) and 18.0mg 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO, 10). The polymerisation proceeds at 130C and 98% monomer conversion is achieved. 4 9 10 (i) Using the information provided above, and in Table Q2a below, calculate the expected degree of polymerisation of the resulting polystyrene, showing all your working. Table Q2a (3 marks) (ii) Draw the chemical structure of the resulting polystyrene. (2 marks)
