β‑Galactosidase (β‑gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β‑galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.395 gsample of β‑galactosidase is dissolved in water to make 0.138 L of solution, and the osmotic pressure of the solution at 25 ∘Cis found to be 0.609 mbar. Calculate the molecular mass of β‑galactosidase
