Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , C_8H_8, M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860

The weight-average molar mass = M_{avg}=?

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}

1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}

M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

If a question cannot be tested and observed, it cannot be answered with science. (2 points) True or False?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a question cannot be tested and observed, it cannot simply be answered by science.

Science works with observable and testable ideas and not on metaphysics.

  • Science presents a methodical approach into investigating phenomenon and answering likely questions in a logical manner.
  • The body of facts and data gathered through observations and tests are used to ramify the conclusion of a scientific study.
  • Without such, it is impossible to do the work of science.
