  1. A 5,000
  2. B 75,000
  3. C 10,000
  4. D 20,000
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10,000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) Number average molecular mass \((M n)\) \[ =\frac{N_2 M_2+N_2 M_2+N_3 M_3}{N_2+N_2+N_3} \] where, \(N_2, N_2\) and \(N_3\) are number of molecules and \(M_2, M_2\) and \(M_3\) are respectively their molecular masses. Given,…
