To determine: The experiment to prove the given statement true.
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: The peaks in mass spectrum of the given polymer confirm that the polymer are large molecule and not clumps of small molecules.
Explanation of Solution
The given polymer is first dissolved in the buffer solution. The experiment is performed to obtain the mass spectra of the given molecule. The mass spectra of the given solution obtained contain a molecular ion peak if the polymer is a large molecule. But if it contains large number of small peaks then the polymer is a cluster of small molecules. The similar experiment is performed on the polymer insulin. It obtained a molecular ion peak instead of the small peaks. This confirms the given statement that polymer is a large mole.
The peaks in mass spectrum of the given polymer confirm that the polymer are large molecule and not clumps of small molecules.
