Polystyrene and polymethylmethylacrylate are both addition polymers formed from styrene and methyl methyl methyl methyl methylide respectively.
00:11
Styrene is a monomer with a molar mass of 100 grams per mole.
00:17
Methylomethacrylate has a molar mass of about 100 grams per mole.
00:22
And we're told in this problem that the polystyrene sample has a molar mass of 97 ,000.
00:34
And we can use the mark -hawink -sakorata equation to determine the viscosity of the polystyrene.
00:54
And we'll use the viscosity then to determine the viscosity of the methyl -metacrylate and then use that to determine the molar mass of the methyl methyl methamithylate.
01:07
So if we abbreviate the polystyrene as ps, so the viscosity of the polystyrene is equal to the constant k of polystyrene times the molar mass of the polystyrene raised to the alpha value.
01:55
And we're told k and alpha are.
02:31
So when we substitute the value of k and the value of alpha and the 97 ,000 for the molar mass, and do the calculation, we get a viscosity of 5 .05 times 10 to the 1 cubic centimeters per gram.

Now, because the two polymers eluded at the same time, we can assume that the hydrodynamic volume is the same for both...
