Two samples of polystyrene, samples A and B, were synthesised. A from the addition of n- butyl lithium to styrene in THF under a nitrogen atmosphere, and B from the addition of benzoyl peroxide to styrene under a nitrogen atmosphere respectively. 1. Of the two polymers produced (A and B) one had Ma = 12,000 and a polydispersity of 1.1 and one a Ma=11, 200 and a polydispersity of 1.7. Identify which set of molecular weight parameters corresponds to which polystyrene sample.

A. Consider three possible ways in which Cu2+ could sorb to a hematite surface: (1) outer-sphere sorption, (2) inner-sphere sorption, and (3) precipitation as a Cu(II)-hydroxide. Describe the differences in the coordination environment - i.e. identify of the nearest atomic neighbours and interatomic distance within 0.5 nm (5 Å) of a given Cu(II) ion - of each sorption process.
