The molecular weight of polymer when styrene is polymerized in benzene is 400,000. With all other conditions the same, addition of 4.23 mg/L of n-butyl mercaptan de- creases the molecular weight to 85,000. What concentration (mg/L) of n-butyl mer- captan will give a molecular weight of 50,000 (other conditions remaining the same) ? [Ans. 8 mg L-)
