3. A sample of polystyrene is composed of a series of fractions of different-sized molecules:
Fraction A B C D E F G H
Weight Fraction 0.04 0.08 0.16 0.28 0.20 0.12 0.07 0.05
Molecular weight 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000
Calculate the Mn, Mw, and PDI of this polymer sample. Draw a molecular weight distribution curve with molecular weight and weight fraction as X and Y dimensions, respectively.
