Poly dispersity index of a polymer is 1.25 If $\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{n}}$ is 800 , what is its $\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{w}}$ ?
  1. $800$
  2. $900$
  3. $950$
  4. $1000$

Solution

$\mathrm{PDI}=\frac{\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{W}}}{\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{n}}}=1.25$ (given) $\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{n}}=800 \Rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{W}}=800 \times 1.25=1000$
