The document provides osmotic pressure data for polystyrene in toluene at 25°C and asks the student to:
1) Calculate the number average molecular weight and second virial coefficient.
2) Determine if toluene is a good or poor solvent.
3) Predict if the polymer chain radius will be larger, smaller, or the same in dilute toluene vs. melt.
It also provides intrinsic viscosity data for six PMMA standards and asks the student to determine the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada constants.

Due Oct31 1.) The following osmotic pressure data was obtained for polystyrene in toluene at 25 0C. Concentration (g/cm3 x 103) (cm toluene) 2.56 0.325 3.8 0.545 5.38 0.893 7.8 1.578 8.86 1.856 The density of toluene is 0.8618g/cm3 and g=981 cm/s2. a) Calculate the number average molecular weight. b) Calculate the second virial coefficient c) What is the quality of the solvent? d) Will the chain of polymer in dilute toluene solution have a radius of gyration larger, smaller, or the same as the same chain of this polymer in melt? Why? 2.) Y&L problem 3.11 3.) Six poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) standards of varying molecular weights with polydispersities of < 1.1 were synthesized. Below are their intrinsic viscosity data determined from solutions of these polymers in benzene at 250C. Determine their Mark-Howink-Sakurada constants, K and a. Molecular weight (g/mol) 46000 82000 152000 253000 348000 856000
