(a)
Interpretation:
The molar mass of riboflavin should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The molar mass can be obtained via colligative property experiments. When a salt is mixed to a solvent such as water, the freezing point is depressed according to the colligative properties of the solution.
The mathematical expression is given as follows:
Where,
(b)
Interpretation:
The molecular structure should be completed.
Concept Introduction:
The skeletal structure is used to ensure description of the molecules.

- 6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.arrow_forward6-68 If we add 175 g of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, per 1000. g of water to a car radiator, what will be the freezing point of the solution?arrow_forward6-113 List the following aqueous solutions in order of decreasing freezing point: 0.040 M glycerin (C3H8O3) 0.025 M NaBr, and 0.015 M AI(NO3)3 Assume complete dissociation of any salts.arrow_forward
- 6-32 Would you expect the solubility of ammonia gas in water at 2 atm pressure to be: (a) greater than, (b) the same as, or (c) smaller than at 0.5 atm pressure?arrow_forward6-93 Two bottles of water are carbonated, with CO2 gas being added, under 2 atm pressure and then capped. One bottle is stored at room temperature; the other is stored in the refrigerator. When the bottle stored at room temperature is opened, large bubbles escape, along with a third of the water. The bottle stored in the refrigerator is opened without frothing or bubbles escaping. Explain.arrow_forward6-74 An osmotic semipermeable membrane that allows only water to pass separates two compartments, A and B. Compartment A contains 0.9% NaCI, and compartment B contains 3% glycerol C3H8O3. (a) In which compartment will the level of solution rise? (b) Which compartment (if either) has the higher osmotic pressure?arrow_forward
