Give reasons for Measurement of osmotic ...

Give reasons for Measurement of osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Osmotic pressure method has the advantage over other methods as pressure measurement is around the room temperature and molarity of the solution is used instead of molality. Its magnitude is large even for dilute solutions.
