Solidification is when you test how hard the mineral is.

Well,, that's a good one!!!

We can measure it spectrophotometrically by measuring the amount of inorganic phosphate released during the reaction.

Also we can use Light scattering and Refractive Index analysis to measure the Degree of polymerization of Amylose!!!

What is bulk polymerization?

i got 23765.4

The degree of polymerization(n) is the ratio between Molecular weight(M) and the molar mass of the repeating unit in a polymer(m).

M=n*m

The molar mass(m) of the monomer (styrene) is 104.15 grams/mol

if you are given a Molecular weight, just devide by m, and you've got it!
