100%
A researcher prepares 100 mL of aqueous
solution containing 0.1 g of a protein. The
researcher then uses an experimental
apparatus ,where he notes that, at room
temperature (300K) and atmospheric
pressure (101.325 kPa), distilled water
flows naturally into the solution
compartment. However, when he applies
an extra pressure of 1000 Pa he observes
that the flow of distilled water ceases and
the system is in balance.
Calculate the molar mass of this
protein, in kDa (1 Da = 1 g/ mol);
Why does the flow of distilled water
cease with the application of the
pressure of 1000 Pa? Explain in
terms of potential chemicals.
