(b) poly(methyl methacrylate)
(c) nylon 6,6
(d) poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Problem 2
The number-average molecular weight of a polystyrene is 500,000
g/mol. Compute the degree of polymerization.
Problem 3
(a) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polypropylene.
(b) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polypropylene
for which the degree of polymerization is 15,000.
Problem 4
Molecular weight data for some polymer are tabulated here. Compute the following:
(a) the number-average molecular weight
(b) the weight-average molecular weight
