### Molecular Weight Analysis of PolytetrafluoroethyleneThe following table provides molecular weight data for a polytetrafluoroethylene material. You are asked to compute:(a) The number-average molecular weight (b) The weight-average molecular weight (c) The degree of polymerization #### Table: Molecular Weight Distribution| Molecular Weight Range (g/mol) | \( x_i \) | \( w_i \) ||----------------------------------|-----------|-----------|| 10,000–20,000 | 0.03 | 0.01 || 20,000–30,000 | 0.09 | 0.04 || 30,000–40,000 | 0.15 | 0.11 || 40,000–50,000 | 0.25 | 0.23 || 50,000–60,000 | 0.22 | 0.24 || 60,000–70,000 | 0.14 | 0.18 || 70,000–80,000 | 0.06 | 0.12 || 80,000–90,000 | 0.04 | 0.07 |- **\( x_i \)** represents the mole fraction.- **\( w_i \)** denotes the weight fraction.To compute the number-average molecular weight, \( M_n \):\[ M_n = \frac{\Sigma (x_i M_i)}{\Sigma x_i} \]For the weight-average molecular weight, \( M_w \):\[ M_w = \frac{\Sigma (w_i M_i)}{\Sigma w_i} \]The degree of polymerization can be calculated using:\[ \text{Degree of Polymerization} = \frac{M_n}{M_0} \]Where \( M_0 \) is the molecular weight of the monomer unit.These computations will help characterize the polymer's molecular distribution, affecting its physical and chemical properties.

please explain each
The plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterephthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and containers for salad dressing, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids. PETE is a polymer of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Today, PETE is the most widely recycled of all the plastics. After it is separated from other plastics, PETE can be used in polyester fabric, door mats, and tennis ball containers. In 2015, 1.84×109 lb1.84×109 lb of PETE bottles were recycled in the U.S. The density of PETE is 1.38 g/mLg/mL. If 2.74×109 kg2.74×109 kg of PETE bottles were sold in 2015, what percentage of those bottles were recycled? Express your answer to three significant figures.
