Question

Is polymerization reversible?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Reversible reaction: The chemical reaction in which a product is converted into a reactant.
2. Polymerization is the process in which monomers are combined.
3. Depolymerization is the process in the polymers are broken down into the monomeric group.
4. Polymerization is a reversible reaction.
5. $\mathrm{Monomer}+\mathrm{Monomer}\rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Polymer}$

Hence, polymerization is a reversible reaction.
