What is the Flory-Huggins theory used to predict?
Polymer solubility
Reaction rates
Heat capacity
Electrical conductivity
Answer
Polymer solubility is predicted using the Flory-Huggins theory, which accounts for the interactions between polymer chains and solvent molecules. It considers the entropy of mixing and the enthalpy of interaction, allowing for the determination of the critical conditions for polymer dissolution. Theory provides insights into the behavior of polymer solutions and helps predict the solubility of polymers in various solvents.
