A condensation polymer is prepared from a diacid of molar mass 120 g·mol\(^{-1}\) and a diol of molar mass 180 g·mol\(^{-1}\). Initially 0.500 mol of each monomer are placed in the reactor. The reaction proceeds to 80 % conversion (by extent of reaction) with no side reactions. (a) Calculate the number‑average molecular weight \(M_n\) of the polymer obtained. (b) Determine the weight fraction of unreacted monomers present in the isolated product.

Answer Options

A. M_n = 1.23×10^3 g·mol⁻¹; weight fraction ≈ 0.25
B. M_n = 1.55×10^3 g·mol⁻¹; weight fraction ≈ 0.18
C. M_n = 1.68×10^3 g·mol⁻¹; weight fraction ≈ 0.30
Correct Answer D. M_n = 1.41×10^3 g·mol⁻¹; weight fraction ≈ 0.21
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
M_n = 1.41×10^3 g·mol⁻¹; weight fraction ≈ 0.21
