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. A \(800\)
  2. B \(900\)
  3. C \(950\)
  4. D \(1000\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1000\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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