A polymer solution at \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\) has an intrinsic viscosity of \([\eta] = 0.85\ \text{dL g}^{-1}\). The Mark-Houwink parameters for this polymer are \(K = 1.2 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{dL g}^{-1}\) and \(a = 0.75\). (i) Calculate the viscosity‑average molecular weight \(M_v\) of the polymer. (ii) A film requires a minimum \(M_v\) of \(1.0 \times 10^{5}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}\). State whether this polymer meets the requirement.

Answer Options

A. M_v \approx 2.1 \times 10^{4}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; does not meet the requirement.
B. M_v \approx 6.3 \times 10^{3}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; meets the requirement.
Correct Answer C. M_v \approx 6.3 \times 10^{3}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; does not meet the requirement.
D. M_v \approx 1.2 \times 10^{5}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; does not meet the requirement.
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
M_v \approx 6.3 \times 10^{3}\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; does not meet the requirement.
