This is true do to all the other particules around
The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
Answer:
Explanation:
In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit =
;
and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol
For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol
Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:
m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)
m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol
m = 104.16 g/mol
The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.
Mathematically;
