Polymerization Kinetics: ConcepTest and Example Problem
Try to answer this ConcepTest and solve the example problem before using this module. Studies show that trying to answer the questions before studying material improves learning and retention. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers. By the end of this module, you should be able to answer these on your own. Answers will be given at the end of this module.
Example Problem 1
Given polymer molecular weight distribution, calculate average molecular weight.
- Calculate number average molecular weight.
- Calculate weight average molecular weight.
- If the molecular weight of the repeat unit is 56, calculate the degree of polymerization.
