We do not have a literature value for the molecular weight of polystyrene because it depends on how many propagation cycles occur—the actual length of the chain is not knowable aheadof-time. however, you can use the experimental data to determine the "average molecular weight" of the polymer after it has formed. you know how much polymer was formed (the total mass of the chains). assuming each initiator molecule starts one chain, you also know how many moles of chains there are. calculate the "average molecular weight" of your polymer.

styrene 104.15g/mol density 0.906g/ml
xylenes (mixture of isomers) 106.17g/mol density 0.86g/ml
