How to Calculate and Solve for Solubility of Polymer | Polymer

Last Updated on December 4, 2022

The solubility of polymer is represented by the image below.

To compute for solubility of polymer, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer (C) and Partial Pressure (P).

The formula for calculating solubility of polymer:

S = C/P

Where:

S = Solubility of Polymer
C = Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer
P = Partial Pressure

Let’s solve an example;
Find the solubility of polymer when the concentration of diffusing specie in polymer is 21 and the partial pressure is 3.

This implies that;

C = Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer = 21
P = Partial Pressure = 3

S = 21/3
S = 7

Therefore, the solubility of polymer is 7 Pa.

Calculating the Concentration of Diffusing Specie when the Solubility of Polymer and the Partial Pressure is Given.

C = PS

Where:

C = Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer
S = Solubility of Polymer
P = Partial Pressure

Let’s solve an example;
Find the concentration of diffusing specie in polymer when the solubility of polymer is 10 and the partial pressure is 4.

This implies that;

S = Solubility of Polymer = 10
P = Partial Pressure = 4

C = PS
C = 10 x 4
C = 40

Therefore, the concentration of diffusing specie is 40.

Calculating the Partial Pressure when the Solubility of Polymer and the Concentration of Diffusing Specie is Given.

P = C / S

Where;

P = Partial Pressure
S = Solubility of Polymer
C = Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer

Given an example;
Find the partial pressure when the solubility of polymer is 10 and the concentration of diffusing specie in polymer is 55.

This implies that;

S = Solubility of Polymer = 10
C = Concentration of Diffusing Specie in Polymer = 55

P = C / S
P = 55 / 10
P = 5.5

Therefore, the partial pressure is 5.5.
