Chapter 4, Problem 4E.2ST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar mass of the polymer has to be determined using the given data.

Concept introduction:

The process which involves the spontaneous passage of pure solvent into solution via semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis.

The membrane is permeable to the solvent but not to the solute.
