[5] c) What MW would you expect if switched to using toluene as the solvent. Hint: See the below table and consider chain transfer to monomer, BPO and toluene and that temp does not affect these values significantly. Table 2-4 Representative Values of Chain-Transfer Constants Monomer Chain-Transfer Agent T(°C) Styrene Styrene 25 C x 10° 50 0.279 0.35-0.78 1.9-16.6 50 50 Polystyrene Benzoyl peroxide Toluene Methyl methacrylate 0.13 0.125 60 Methyl methacrylate 30 70 0.117 0.2 0.22-1000 0.01 50 Poly(methyl methacrylate) Benzoyl peroxide Toluene 50 40 0.170
