The polymerization of terephtalic acid and ethylene glycol

The polymerization of terephtalic acid and ethylene glycol is self catalyzed and carried out at 290 C The rate constant k is 2 65 105 dm5 s mol The monomers are added to the batch reactor in stoichiometric amounts a If we would like to produce PET with a number average molecular weight of 2 500 g mol within 7 hours what initial concentration of the monomers is needed
