数均分子量Number-average molar mass

\[\bar M_n = \frac{\sum_i N_iM_i}{\sum_i N_i} = \sum_i x_iM_i\]

含义Meaning

按分子数目加权的平均摩尔质量,对低分子量组分敏感。用端基分析、渗透压、凝固点降低等依数性方法测定。

Molar mass averaged over the number of molecules; sensitive to small chains and measured by end-group analysis or colligative methods such as osmometry.

符号说明Symbols

符号Symbol含义 Meaning单位 Unit
\(N_i\)摩尔质量为 M_i 的分子数number of molecules of mass M_i1
\(x_i\)数量分数number fraction1

推导Derivation

  1. 总质量除以总分子数(物质的量)。

    Total mass divided by total number of molecules.

  2. 依数性只“数”粒子数目:\(\Pi/c \to RT/\bar M_n\)(c → 0),所以给出数均值。

    Colligative properties count particles, so osmometry gives \(\bar M_n\).

适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations

  • 对少量低分子杂质(残余单体、溶剂)非常敏感。

    Very sensitive to small amounts of low-mass impurities.

例题Worked example

等摩尔的 10 kg/mol 与 100 kg/mol 链:M_n = 55 kg/mol。

Equal numbers of 10 and 100 kg/mol chains: M_n = 55 kg/mol.
