Develop an equilibrium rate expression for Project ID: 8521884 to prepare Polycaprolactone { (PCL) |~O-(CH2)5-C=O~|, CAS: 24980-41-4} from Caprolactone {(CH2)5CO2, CAS: 502-44-3}.
A good starting point for preparing a compound is the equilibrium analysis of the catalyzed reaction because it provides the maximum theoretical conversion to the product. I can provide an equilibrium analysis for your Project given specific compound data.
I cannot provide a kinetic reaction rate expression for this reaction because that can only be discovered analytically through experimentation. However, with experimental reaction rate data that you provide, I can help to define a kinetic reaction rate expression, but this is usually a time-consuming, iterative process; and as such is specifically excluded from this proposal.
My chemical database does not contain information on the compounds involved in this reaction. Based on the extent of physical and thermochemical data that you can provide, I may be able to help to analyze the equilibrium reaction to obtain an equilibrium rate expression.
