1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Calculate the amount of benzoyl peroxide initiator required to generate lkg of
polyethylene if the desired mass of each polyethylene molecule is 2.326x10^-18 g.
Explain why the quantity of benzoyl peroxide is regarded as important in defining
the mechanical properties of the polymer.
(Assume the eficiency of conversion is 40% and the, mass of one benzoyl
peroxide molecule : 4.02x10^-22 g.
