2 68 mmlHg at 25 C.
Transcribed Image Text:The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 19.6 mg of an unknown protein in 50.0 mL of solution is 2 68 mmlHg at 25 C.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that, 

Osmotic pressure of unknown protein π = 2.68 mmHg = 0.00353 atm

Temperature T= 25°C  = 298 K

Weight of protein dissolved w = 19.6 mg  = 0.0196 g

Volume of protein solution V= 50.0 mL  = 0.050 L

Molecular weight of Unknown protein Mw = to be calculated

Gas constant R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Concentration of protein solution C(w/M)×(1/V)   

  = (0.0196/M)×(1/0.050 L)
