6. I suggest using Excel to answer this question. Consider the following distribution of polymer chains:

5 chains of degree of polymerization 10

25 chains of degree of polymerization 100

50 chains of degree of polymerization 500

30 chains of degree of polymerization 1000

10 chains of degree of polymerization 5000

5 chains of degree of polymerization 50,000

(a) Calculate the number and weight average degree of polymerization and polydispersity of this collection of polymer chains.

(b) If these chains are poly(methyl methacrylate) what would be the corresponding number and weight average molecular weights (ignore end group effects)? Hint: the MW of the repeat unit is 100 g/mol.

(c) Add five more chain of degree of polymerization 10 to the above distribution. Comment on the relative effect that this has on the calculated number and weight average molecular weights.

Use the following scenario to answer question. Island chains are known to occur along the borders of the earth’s large land plates. For example, both the Hawaiian and Galapagos Islands were born from the intense volcanic activity generated along the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire”. Hence, the number and placement of the islands can tell us approximately how many of the underwater volcanoes made islands and in what direction the plates are moving. Once formed, an island, then undergoes colonization...
