Answer:
13924g/mol is the molar mass of the protein
Explanation:
What is the molar mass of the protein.
The osmotic pressure of a solution, π, is defined as:
π = c*R*T
Where π is osmotic pressure = 2.054torr* (1atm/760torr) = 2.70x10⁻³atm
c is molar concentration of the protein,
R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK
And T is absolute temperature = 298K
Solving the molar concentration:
c = π / RT
c = 2.70x10⁻³atm / 0.082atmL/molK*298K
c = 1.106x10⁻⁴ moles protein / L
The moles of protein in 150mL = 0.150L:
0150L * (1.106x10⁻⁴ moles protein / L) = 1.659x10⁻⁵ moles protein
The molar mass is the ratio of mass and moles:
0.231g / 1.659x10⁻⁵ moles protein =
