Concept Introduction:
By using the Osmometric method, the molar mass of solute can be calculated as follows:
Step-1: The observed osmotic pressure has to be converted into solute molar concentration,
Step-2: The amount of solute (in moles) in the solution is calculated by multiplying the molar concentration of solute by the volume of solution.
Step-3: The molar mass of the solute is calculated by dividing the given mass of solute (in grams) by the calculated amount in moles.

- The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 7.0 g of insulin per liter is 23 torr at 25 C. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forwardCalculate the molality of a solution made by dissolving 115.0 g ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, in 500. mL water. The density of water at this temperature is 0.978 g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forwardTemperature influences solubility. Does temperature have the same effect on all substances? Justify your answer. (Hint: Consider Le Chateliers principle.)arrow_forward
- Heat is released when some solutions form; heat is absorbed when other solutions form. Provide a molecular explanation for the difference between these two types of spontaneous processes.arrow_forwardThe freezing point of a 0.21 m aqueous solution of H2SO4 is -0.796C. (a) What is i? (b) Is the solution made up primarily of (i) H2SO4 molecules only? (ii) H+ and HSO4- ions? (iii) 2H+ and 1SO42- ions?arrow_forwardInsulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forward
