Is the intrinsic viscosity equal to the specific viscosity/concentration?
I have been given a table with the viscosity at different concentrations, and asked to produce a specific viscosity/concentration - concentration graph, extrapolate to zero and calculate the molecular mass of the polymer using the Mark-Houwink equation. Does the specific viscosity/concentration equal to the intrinsic viscosity? Many Thanks

The intrinsic viscosity is a concept I could never get my head around.
It is the viscosity at zero concentration.
Plot viscosity vs concentration = viscosity on the y axis, concentration on the x
Extrapolate the graph back to zero concentration
intrinsic viscosity is the intercept on the y axis.
