Chapter 13, Problem 13.62QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molar mass of the protein has to be calculated using the data.

Concept introduction

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution. We can calculate osmotic pressure by using this formula is given by,

Osmotic pressure $\left(\text{π}\right)\text{ = MRT}$

Where,

M is the Molarity of the solution $\left(\text{mol/L}\right)$

R is the Ideal gas constant $\left(0.08206{\text{L atm mol}}^{\text{-1}}{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}\right)$

T is the Temperature in Kelvin

Molar mass: Molar mass is defined as mass of the chemical compound or chemical element divided by its amount.
