solution containing more than . % (mass/ volume) sodium chloride, water will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. Such a solution is called hypertonic . If the salt concentration is less than .
% (mass/volume), the solution is said to be hypotonic . In this case, water will flow into the cells if placed in this solution and they would swell. cm of an aqueous solution of a protein contains . g of the protein.
The osmotic pressure of such a solution at K is found to be . × - bar. Calculate the molar mass of the protein. The various quantities known to us are as follows: P = .
× – bar, V = cm = . litre T = K R = . L bar mol - K - Substituting these values in equation ( . ) we get M = .
