3. A series of narrow distribution polystyrene standards dissolved in chloroform were injected
into a GPC column at 35˚C yielding a set of chromatograms.
The following data of peak elution volumes and corresponding sample molecular weights
were reported (Dawkins and Hemming, 1975) :

Using the above data for polystyrene standards, construct a calibration curve for the molecular
weightelution volume of polymer X in chloroform at 35˚C. The MHS constants in chloroform
at 35˚C may be taken as : K = 4.9 x 103 cm3/g, a = 0.79 for polystyrene and K = 5.4 x 103
cm3/g, a = 0.77 for polymer X.

4. The GPC column of Problem 4.20 was used for the determination of molecular weight of a
sample of the same polymer X. After injecting a chloroform solution of the polymer into the
GPC column, the refractive index difference (△η) between the eluted solution and pure
solvent was measured as a function of elution volume (Ve) which yielded the following data:
