You are studying a tau protein associated with Alzheimer's disease for Dr. Durrant. It is believed to have a mass between 55,000 and 62,000 g/mol. You have been given the task of determining its actual molecular mass using an osmometer. If you dissolve 5.00 mg of the protein in 1.00 mL water at 20.7°C, calculate the range of expected osmotic pressures.
