Chapter 2: Q13-107P (page 40)

In a study designed to prepare new gasoline-resistant coatings, a polymer chemist dissolves 6.053 g of poly (vinyl alcohol) in enough water to make 100.0mL of solution. At, $25^{鈭�} C$ the osmotic pressure of this solution is 0.272 atm. What is the molar mass of polymer sample?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The molar mass of polymer is $5345.785 g / m o l$ .

Step by step solution

Osmotic pressure

Osmotic pressure is defined as the pressure that must be applied to the solution side to stop fluid movement when a semi-permeable membrane separates a solution from pure water.

Calculation of molar mass

In the question it is given that volume of solution is 100L, osmotic pressure 0.272atm, temperature 2 $25^{鈭�} C$ and mass of poly (vinyl alcohol) is 6.053g.

So, we can calculate the molar mass from the equation n=MRT.

Where M is the molarity of solution, R gas constant $(0.082 L . a t m / m o l K . K)$ and T temperature.

$n = \frac{(\frac{m a s s o f p o l y (v i n y l a l c o h o l)}{m o l a r m a s s})}{v o l u m w o f s o l u t i o n (L)} R T m o l a r m a s s = \frac{(\frac{m a s s o f p o l y (v i n y l a l c o h o l)}{n})}{v o l u m w o f s o l u t i o n (L)} R T = \frac{(\frac{6.053 g}{0.272 a t m})}{0.1 L} 脳 0.082 L . a t m / m o l . K 脳 298 K = 5345.785 g / m o l$
