To determine intrinsic viscosity, several solutions of the solute are prepared at different concentrations. Intrinsic viscosity can be used to determine the molecular weight of a polymer using the Mark-Houwink equation. Where η represents the intrinsic viscosity of the solute, c represents the concentration of the solute and η inh represents the inherent viscosity of the solution. Intrinsic Viscosity is the hypothetical inherent viscosity of a solute at infinite dilution.
