The following data shows the rate of emulsion 0.012 polymerization of styrene vs. number of latex particles at 60 C. 0.01 The propagation rate constant is kp = 209 L/mol.sec. This 0.008 graph shows that the polymerization rate varies linearly with Rp (m ol/min. 18 0m L-H20) the number of particles. The styrene polymerization follows 0.006 the Smith-Ewart Case II kinetics. Calculate the dynamic 0.004 concentration of monomer in particles under these conditions.
