Calculate Mn, Mw and the polydispersity index for a hypothetical polymer sample that contains equimolar amounts of polymer having molecular weights of 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000
Calculate Mn, Mw and the polydispersity index for a hypothetical
The molecular weight of a polymer is an important characteristic that determines its physical and mechanical properties. The average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw) are commonly used to describe the molecular weight distribution of a polymer sample. The polydispersity index (PDI) is another important parameter that provides information on the spread of the molecular weight distribution.
In this response, we will calculate the average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw), and polydispersity index (PDI) for a hypothetical polymer sample that contains equimolar amounts of polymer having molecular weights of 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000
