(a) Write down a balanced chemical equation for polymerization of a w-hydroxy carboxylic acid (HORCO2H)

(b) The following data were obtained during the condensation of 12-hydroxystearic acid at 160.5 degrees C in the molten state by sampling the reactionmixture at various times. The [COOH] was determined for each sample by titrating with ethanloic sodium hydroxide.

t/h	[COOH] / mol dm^-3
0	3.10
0.5	1.30
1.0	0.83
1.5	0.61
2.0	0.48
2.5	0.40
3.0	0.34

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.
