Assertion (A): Bulk polymerisation is difficult to control at industrial scale.
Reason (R): The reaction is strongly exothermic and the viscosity rises sharply as it proceeds.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the difficulty: the rising viscosity impedes both mixing and heat transfer just as the heat release is greatest, which can lead to a runaway called the gel effect. Cooling capacity is what limits the batch size.
