Question: Consider a hypothetical polymer that has a tetragonal unit cell ( ie . , = = = 9 0 ) with the following unit cell

Consider a hypothetical polymer that has a tetragonal unit cell (ie.,===90) with the following
unit cell edge lengths: a=b=0.731nm, and c=0.933nm. Furthermore, the repeat unit molecular weight
is 64.0gmol, and there are 4 repeat units associated with each unit cell. (20 pts )
a) Calculate the volume of the unit cell (4 pts).
b) Calculate the density of a 100% crystalline sample of this polymer (8 pts ).
c) If a specimen of this material having 45 percent crystallinity has a density of 1.00gcm3 compute
the density of the totally amorphous polymer (8 pts ).
