Question $8.$ The following polymer is made through the condensation polymerization with molecular weight $($Mn$)$ of $59,000.$ Calculate the degree of polymerization and the conversion using Carothers equation

Answer: The molecular weight of the repeating unit is $58\frac{g}{m}ol.$ The degree of polymerization will be $59,\frac{000}{58}=1017$ and the conversion will be $0\mathrm{.}999($verify$)$
