The correct Answer is:
To find the number average molecular weight of the polymer sample, we can use the formula for the number average molecular weight (M_n): \[ M_n = \frac{(m_1 \cdot n_1) + (m_2 \cdot n_2)}{n_1 + n_2} \] Where: - \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the molecular masses of the two types of molecules. - \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) are the number of molecules of each type. ### Step 1: Identify the values From the problem: - \( m_1 = 10^3 \) (molecular mass of the first type of molecule) - \( n_1 = 100 \) (number of the first type of molecules) - \( m_2 = 10^4 \) (molecular mass of the second type of molecule) - \( n_2 = 200 \) (number of the second type of molecules) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the values into the formula gives: \[ M_n = \frac{(10^3 \cdot 100) + (10^4 \cdot 200)}{100 + 200} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the numerator Calculating the numerator: \[ 10^3 \cdot 100 = 10^5 \] \[ 10^4 \cdot 200 = 2 \cdot 10^6 \] Thus, the numerator becomes: \[ 10^5 + 2 \cdot 10^6 = 10^5 + 20 \cdot 10^5 = 21 \cdot 10^5 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the denominator The denominator is: \[ 100 + 200 = 300 \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now, substituting back into the formula: \[ M_n = \frac{21 \cdot 10^5}{300} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the expression To simplify: \[ M_n = \frac{21}{300} \cdot 10^5 \] Calculating \( \frac{21}{300} \): \[ \frac{21}{300} = \frac{7}{100} = 0.07 \] Thus: \[ M_n = 0.07 \cdot 10^5 = 7 \cdot 10^3 \] ### Step 7: Identify the value of \( x \) From the expression \( M_n = x \cdot 10^3 \), we can see that \( x = 7 \). ### Final Answer The value of \( x \) is \( 7 \). ---
