I need the answer of this Questionthe book name: Introduction to polymers3.3 (a) Write down the balance chemical equation for polymerization of a ω-hydroxy carboxylic acid (HORCO2H).The following data were obtained during the condensation of 12-hydroxystearic acid at 160.5 °C in the molten state by sampling the reaction mixture at various times. The [COOH] was determined for each sample by titrating with ethanolic sodium hydroxide. Determine the rate coefficient for the reaction under these conditions and the order of the reaction. Also suggest whether or not a catalyst was used.t/h
