If this reaction is indeed third-order, and if Flory s assumption that the intrinsic reactivity of a functional group is independent of chain length is correct, then a plot of 1/c2 versus t should be linear. Because it provides a direct link to the statistics of polymerization, however, it is useful to first follow Flory and define a new parameter, p, the extent of reaction Equation 4-15.
