Question

Determine the average Degree of Polymerization (DP) for a perfectly linear, unbranched chain of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) that has an exact molecular weight of 106,000 u. (Atomic weights: C=12, H=1, N=14).

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The monomer is acrylonitrile (). Its molar mass is g/mol. The Degree of Polymerization (DP) = Total Molecular Weight / Monomer Weight = .
