The degree of polymerization can be calculated:
n =Molar mass of polymer /Molar mass of monomer (eq1)
Monomer molar mass is calculated as:
mC6H5CHCH2=mC+mH
Since we have a total of 8 atoms of C, each of molar mass 12 g/mol and a total of 8 atoms of H, each of molar mass 1 g/mol we will have:
=8.12+8.1
=104gm/mol
Substituting values to eq. (1) we get:
n=3.5x10^5 gmol / 104 gmol=3.4⋅103
n = 3.4 x 10^3
