The mass of polystyrene is easily estimated looking at its mass spectrum. The spectrum has the shape of a comb with a large number of teeth. Teeth are equally spaced. In the region between 1000 and 3000, the spacing is 104.12 g/mol. In the region between 3000 and 6000, the spacing is 104.18 g/mol. If the and the spacing is approximately 104.12 g/mol. The spacing changes

What type of plastic is a plastic disposable cup made of?
Polystyrene. the opaque white cups that you can make fingernails impressions in, are foamed polystyrene. Clear sups that you get on an airplane are general-purpose polystyrene.
What are the uses of polystyrene?
Food and dairy containers, produce baskets, fast food containers, closures and vending cups and lids comprise the biggest commercial market of polystyrene. Polystyrene is also used in the durable goods industry in the manufacturing of domestic appliances, toys, household goods, electronic goods and furniture. Because polystyrene is not susceptible to rough treatment it is favoured for use as packing materials. Polystyrene is used to protect goods that are shipped by stabilising the items inside the containers. Used for mail order due to its lightweight aspects, polystyrene doesn't add much to postage costs. The food industry uses polystyrene for climate control to keep produce fresh during transportation. Polystyrene is a common insulation product for walls, cavities, lofts and floors. Hope I helped :-)

How to calculate weight of Expandable Polystyrene Thermocol if density is given?
density= mass/ volume (if you want the weight then you have to multiply the mass by 9.8, however I am sure that you mean the mass. Mass= kg, Weight= Newtons)
