A 5 0 g sample of poly ( amide 6 ) [ Nylon 6 ] produced by ideal step - growth polymerization of the monomer

A 50g sample of poly(amide6)[Nylon 6] produced by "ideal" step-growth polymerization
of the monomer P is found to contain 310-3mol of -COOH end groups by nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR).
a. Calculate the number-average molecular weight of this sample of Nylon 6.
b. Calculate the extent of reaction p of the step-growth polymerization.
c. Assuming "ideal" step-growth polymerization statistics, calculate the weight-
average molecular weight.
d. Estimate the weight fraction of chains in this sample that have a molecular weight
less than 8000gmol-1.(HINT: integration may be necessary) Molar mass of P is 132 g/mol. It is C6H13O2N
