From the DSC data, explain the differences between the two grades in terms of any thermal transitions (Tg, Tm or Tc) or degradation behaviours. Indepth answers pls

First screenshot: Polystyrene with a molecular weight range of 30,000-50,000 g/mol

Second screenshot: Polystyrene with a molecular weight of 350,000 g/mol

From the DSC data, explain the differences between the two grades in

terms of any thermal transitions (Tg, Tm or Tc) or degradation behaviours.
