The method preferred for determining the molecular weight of polymer is:

A

Osmotic pressure

B

Gas density

C

Lowering of freezing point

D

Direct weighing of a single molecule

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Osmotic pressure method is best for the determination of molecular weight of polymers and proteins since O.P. though very small, is measurable and in this method, heating is not required.
