1. A sample of polystyrene is found to have a number-average molar mass of 89,440 g mol−1 . Neglecting contributions from end gr

oups, calculate the number-average degree of polymerization of this sample. Assuming that the sample has a molar mass dispersity of 1.5, calculate its weight-average molar mass.

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.

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?
myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.
