Question:

The average molar mass of a sample of polypropylene was determined by measuring the osmotic pressure of 500. mL of a solution of 3.16 g of polypropylene in benzene. A pressure of 0.0112 atm was observed at 25°C.

(a) What is the average molar mass of the polymer?

(b) How many propene monomer units with formula OCH(CH3)CH2O were combined on average to create each chain?

(c) If this sample consists only of linear chains and the carbon–carbon bond lengths in the polymer are close to their average value, what is the average chain length?
