2. Terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol were polymerized at 200 °C. a. In a self-catalyzed polymerization reaction with the starting concentration of each monomer is 8.55 mol/L and k = 4.65 x 10 mol2 L² s², how many hours would it take to make a polymer with DP = 150. b. How many hours would the same polymerization take, using the same monomer concentration, if an acid catalyst is used and k = 1.75 x 10 mol² L² s² (Use DP = 150).
