JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 16)

1.46 g of a biopolymer dissolved in a 100 mL water at 300 K exerted an osmotic pressure of 2.42 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3 bar.

The molar mass of the biopolymer is _____________ $$\times$$ 104 g mol$$-$$1. (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

[Use : R = 0.083 L bar mol$$-$$1 K$$-$$1]
Answer
15

Explanation

$$\pi$$ = CRT;

$$\pi$$ = osmotic pressure

C = molarity

T = Temperature of solution

let the molar mass be M gm/mol

2.42 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3 bar = $${{\left( {{{1.46g} \over {Mgm/mol}}} \right)} \over {0.1l}} \times \left( {{{0.083l - bar} \over {mol - K}}} \right) \times (300K)$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ M = 15.02 $$\times$$ 104 g/mol
