⚠️Our tutors found the solution shown to be helpful for the problem you're searching for. We don't have the exact solution yet.
a. Calculate the freezing-point depression and osmotic pressure at 25°C of an aqueous solution containing 1.0 g/L of a protein (molar mass = 9.0x104 g/mol) if the density of the solution is 1.0 g/cm3.
b. Considering your answer to part a, which colligative property, freezing-point depression or osmotic pressure, would be better used to determine the molar masses of large molecules? Explain.
