Interpretation: The molar mass of the protein is to be calculated from its osmotic pressure at
Concept introduction: Solvent always flows from lower concentration to higher concentration. This process of solvent flow is known as osmosis. Now if another side external pressure is applied then this process reversed and this applied reverse pressure is known as osmotic pressure.
The higher osmotic pressure containing solution has the higher concentration. Basically, with the help of the value of osmotic pressure the concentration of solvent is calculated and with the help of the concentration the molar mass of the compound is calculated.
To determine: The molar mass of the protein for the given value of osmotic pressure.
