  1. A 22,000
  2. B 33,000
  3. C 11,000
  4. D 44,000
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 44,000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number average molecular mass of polymer is given by formula: \(\begin{aligned} M_n & =\frac{\Sigma N_i M_i}{\Sigma N_i} \\ & =\frac{15 \times 8000+15 \times 80,000}{30} \\ & =\frac{120000+1200000}{30} \\ & =\frac{1320000}{30}=44,000 \end{aligned}\)
