According to Dalton's atomic theory, all matter whether an element, a compound or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms which can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Dalton's theory provides a simple explanation for the laws of chemical combination. He used his theory to explain law of conservation of masses, law of constant proportions and law of multiple proportions, based on various postulates of the theory. Dalton was the first scientist to use the symbols for the elements in a very specific sense. When he used a symbol for an element he also meant a definite quantity of that element, that is one atom of that element. Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?

The main application of osmotic pressure measurement is in the determination of the molar mass of a substance which is either slightly soluble or has a very high molar mass such as proteins, polymers of various types and colloids.This is due to the fact that even a very small concentraion of the solution produces fairly large magnitude of osomotic pressure.In the laboratory the concentrations usually employed are of the order of 10^(-3) to 10^(-4) M.At concentration of 10^(-3) mol dm^(-3) , the magnitude of osmotic pressure of 300 K is : P=10^(-3)xx0.082xx300=0.0246 atm or 0.0246xx1.01325xx10^5=2492.595 Pa At this concentration, the values of other colligative properties such as boiling point elevation and depression in freezing point are too small to be determined experimentally. Further polymers have following two types of molar masses : (A) Number average molar mass (barM_n) , which is given by (undersetisumN_iM_i)/(undersetisumN_i) where N_i is the number of molecules having molar mass M_i . (B) Molar average molar mass (barM_m) , which is given by (undersetisumN_iM_i^2)/(undersetisumN_iM_i) Obviously the former is independent of the individual characteristics of the molecules and gives equal weightage to large and small molecules in the polymer sample.On the other hand later gives more weightage to the heavier molecules.Infact with the help of a colligative property only one type of molar mass of the polymer can be determined. One gram each of polymer A (molar mass=2000) and B(molar mass=6000) is dissolved in water to form one litre solution at 27^@C .The osmotic pressure of this solution will be :
