What would be Mw and Mn for a sample obtained by mixing 10 g of a polystyrene sample having Mw = 100000, Mn = 70000, with 20 g of another polystyrene sample having Mw = 60000, Mn = 20000?

Two polymers of MWs 10000 and 10000 are mixed in equal parts by weight. Determine Mn and Mw.
Sri K.
one kilogram of a polyester with a number average molar mass Mn = 10000 g/mol is mixed with one kilogram of another polyester with a Mn = 30000 g/mol. The mixture then is heated to a temperature at which ester interchange occurs and the heating continued until full equilibration is achieved. Assuming that the two original polyester samples and the new polyester, produced by the ester interchange reaction, have the most probable distribution of molar mass, Calculate Mn and Mw for the mixture before and after the ester interchange reaction.
