5. By a fractional precipitation a polymer A with most probable distribution (I = 2.0) and an osmotic molecular weight of 120,000 is separated into two fractions B and C with molecular weights, 200,000 and 300,000, respectively, determined by light scattering. Calculate the weight of B that would be obtained from 100 g of initial polymer A. If both B and C have the same polydispersity, what is the value of the polydispersity index ?
