Mean molecular weight

The molecular weight (mean relative molecular mass) was obtained by determination of density but, in order to determine that the gas was monatomic and its atomic and molecular weights identical, it was necessary to measure the velocity of sound in the gas and to derive from this the ratio of its specific heats kinetic theory predicts that Cp/C = 1.67 for a monatomic and 1.40 for a diatomic gas.

The modeling of a polymerization process is usually understood as formulation of a set of mathematical equations or computer code which are able to produce information on the composition of a reacting mixture. The input parameters are reaction paths and reactivities of functional groups (or sites) at monomeric substrates. The information to be modeled may be the averages of molecular weight, mean square radius of gyration, particle scattering factor, moduli of elasticity, etc. Certain features of polymerizations can also be predicted by the models.

Since the number 16.043 represents the mass of 1 mole of methane molecules, it makes sense to call it the molar mass for methane. However, tradi-A substance s molar mass (molecular tionally, the term molecular weight has been used to describe the mass of 1 weight) is the mass in grams of mole of a substance. Thus the terms molar mass and molecular weight mean...

The copolymerization of internal olefins has received little attention, probably due to the lack of catalytic activity of the systems discussed so far. Only results concerning (Z)-2-butene have been reported. Using the Me-Duphos-modified catalyst 86 (Scheme 8.16), a poly]l-oxo-2-methyl-l,4-butanediyl] (Scheme 8.18) formed with low molecular weight (mean oligomerization degree 7) [32]. 

Note that the Flory-Huggins expression for the entropy of mixing of polymer and solvent corresponds to volume fraction statistics. This should be compared with the analogous mole fraction statistics that are exhibited by ideal minimolecules in the Bragg-Williams approximation. Mole fraction statistics are inappropriate to polymer-solvent systems because the disparity in molecular weights means that the mole fraction of solvent is always close to unity, except at extremely high polymer volume fractions.

Typical average molecular weights for BPA-PC are 18,000 to 36,000, when measured on an absolute molecular weight scale. Low molecular weight means that there are significantly more chain ends in BPA-PC than would be observed in most high-molecular-weight polymers. 

This requirement, in conjunction with typical block molecular weights, means that the desired Q range falls within that wherein the Bragg peaks from the long range domain order are dominant, consequently subtraction of the undoped background has to be carried out with care. 

Wool and silk are both proteins. AU proteins are actually copolymers of polyamide-2 (or nylon-2, old terminology). As made by plants and animals, however, the copolymers are highly ordered, and they have monodisperse molecular weights, meaning that aU the chains have the same molecular weights. 

As with other material systems, different types of polymers can be mixed to provide control of properties. A polymer blend is a macroscopically homogeneous mixture of two or more different species of polymer [lUPAC]. The low entropy of mixing of polymers due to the high molecular weight means that different polymers do not readily form a homogeneous blend rather they form mixtures with a phase separated structure whose morphology will depend on the preparation route. The presence of a solvent further complicates matters. 

The process whereby bonds of a polymeric backbone are simultaneously cleaved and formed is denoted equilibration (Fig. 3). This reaction is limited to polymers whose backbone can be built up or cleaved by a reaction of low enthalpy. Another well-known example for an equilibration process is the transesterification of polyesters. Within silicone chemistry equilibration plays a key role as it enables the design of silicones with tailor-made molecular weights and patterns of functionalities. Via equilibration polymers, oligomers or monomers can be combined in any way and will give access to polymers whose structure (mean molecular weight, mean number of even different functionalities, pattern of functionalities) will only be determined by staffs-...

In computing vapor pressures, the vapor pressure of the heaviest or hexane plus fraction is always troublesome. In estimating its vapor pressure, boiling point is the most accurate basis, specific gravity is fairly accurate, and molecular weight means little. The approximate relationship between the true vapor pressure and the specific gravity of hexane plus fractions is...
