The image above represents the degree of polymerization. One essential parameter is needed to calculate the degree of polymerization, and this parameter is parameter (V).
The formula for calculating the degree of polymerization:
Xn = 2V
Where:
Xn = Degree of Polymerization
V = Parameter
Let’s solve an example;
Find the degree of polymerization with a parameter of 28.
This implies that;
V = Parameter = 28
Xn = 2V
So, Xn = 2 (28)
Xn = 56
Therefore, the degree of polymerization is 56.
Calculating for the Parameter when the Degree of Polymerization are Given
V = Xn / 2
Where;
Xn = Degree of Polymerization
V = Parameter

Let’s solve an example;
Find the parameter of a given degree of polymerization of 42.
This implies that;
Xn = Degree of Polymerization = 42
V = Xn / 2
Then, V = 42 / 2
V = 21
Therefore, the parameter is 21.
