For chain polymerization kinetics, set the rate of initiation and the rate of termination equal to each other. This is the steady state approximation. (a) Show that the rate of propagation is: R_p=k_p[M](R_i/(2k_t))^(1/2) (b) If you double the rate of initiation, by what factor does the rate of propagation increase?
