Q.22) The molar mass of polyethylene and Characteristic ratio are 125692 g/mol and 5.2 at 140°C. The root
2
mean square length (¿ r >¿1φ /2 ¿ for short range restriction is___nm. [C-C bond length 1.54 Å]

22][31.80-35.95]

Solution:

Polyethylene monomer weight = 28

Number of segment = 125692/28 = 4489
Root mean square end to end distance <R2>1/2 = 1.54 x ( 2 X 4489)1/2 = 145.92Å
Characteristic ratio - it is a parameter which predicts or gives the idea about the stiffness of the chain
