Interpretation:
The degree of polymerization for weight average and number average molecular weight for the given polymer in example 16.5 is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular weight of a polymer is not fixed. It has a certain range under which its molecular weight falls. For a linear polymer, the degree of polymerization represents the average length of the polymer. Degree of polymerization is defined as
Weight average molecular weight
