A process for molding transparent cups from polystyrene has been optimized to run at 1 5 0 C with a viscosity of = 2 kPa

A process for molding transparent cups from polystyrene has been optimized to run at
150C with a viscosity of =2kPa*s. An error in the polymerization led to an increase in
molecular weight of the PS from 60000gmol-1 to 90000gmol-1 for this batch. For PS,
Tg=100C,C1=13.7, and C2=50C. At what temperature should the molding process
occur for the new batch? (HINT: for these samples, viscosity increases dramatically with
molecular weight, M3.4)
