Question 42 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • CHEMISTRY • objective

A polymer sample shows an intrinsic viscosity \([\eta] = 0.85\ \text{dL g}^{-1}\) in a given solvent. The Mark-Houwink parameters for this polymer‑solvent system are \(K = 1.2 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{dL g}^{-1}\) and \(a = 0.72\). The monomer has a molar mass of \(100\ \text{g mol}^{-1}\). (i) Calculate the viscosity‑average molecular weight \(M_v\) of the polymer. (ii) Determine the average degree of polymerization (DP).

Answer Options

A. M_v ≈ 1.0×10^4 g mol⁻¹; DP ≈ 100
B. M_v ≈ 7.5×10^3 g mol⁻¹; DP ≈ 75
C. M_v ≈ 8.0×10^3 g mol⁻¹; DP ≈ 80
Correct Answer D. M_v ≈ 9.1×10^3 g mol⁻¹; DP ≈ 91
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
M_v ≈ 9.1×10^3 g mol⁻¹; DP ≈ 91
