    Study Notes

    Polymerization

    • The rate-limiting step in polymerization kinetics is the slowest step that determines the overall reaction rate.
    • Step-growth polymerization involves the formation of high molecular weight polymers without by-products, allowing for the efficient growth of chains.

    Factors Affecting Polymerization

    • Factors that do not affect the rate of polymerization include the concentration of the polymer formed.
    • Various physical and chemical parameters can influence the rate of polymerization, such as temperature and reactant concentration.

    Spectroscopy Techniques

    • UV spectroscopy analyzes the concentration of pollutants with strong absorption in the ultraviolet region.
    • In IR spectroscopy, absorption of infrared light results in a decrease in light intensity, which is then recorded as a spectrum.
    • IR spectroscopy is widely employed in pharmaceuticals, chemical analysis, and environmental analysis to identify molecular structures.

    Fundamental Laws

    • UV and IR spectroscopy both utilize the Beer-Lambert Law, stating that absorbance is directly proportional to concentration and path length.
    • UV spectroscopy assists in determining the purity of pharmaceutical products and detecting impurities, ensuring safety.

    Functional Groups and Absorption

    • IR spectroscopy detects functional groups like hydroxyl and amide bonds that absorb in the infrared region.
    • UV spectroscopy reveals information about molecular structure, including functional groups and bonding degrees, particularly effective in the UV region.
