1. The equation RT[B]=π is called the Van't Hoff equation, where B is the solute. Also keep in mind that π=ρgh, the symbols as given in class (recall the sketch we made). a. The concentration of B is written as the molarity, n/V= moles/liter. Show that the molarity can be written as c/M, where M is the molar mass and c is the concentration as grams/liter. b. Using the result in "a" and the Van't Hoff equation, show that πcRT=M. c. In an experiment, a solution of hemoglobin is 1.00g in 0.100dm3 water. At 276.15 K, the osmotic pressure results in a column that is 3.51cm high. Use this to determine the molar mass of hemoglobin. (Answer: 66,700 g/mol). (You will have to look up some physical constant values on your own).
