20 g20\text{ g} hemoglobin in a 1 L1\text{ L} aqueous solution (A) at 300 K300\text{ K} is separated from pure water by semi permeable membrane. At equilibrium the height of solution in a tube dipped in a solution (A) is found to be 80.0 mm80.0\text{ mm} higher than the tube dipped in water. The molar mass of hemoglobin is _______ kg mol−1\text{kg mol}^{-1}. (Nearest integer)
(Given : g=10 m s−2g = 10\text{ m s}^{-2}, R=8.3 kPa dm3 K−1mol−1R = 8.3\text{ kPa dm}^3\text{ K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}, density of solution =1000 kg m−3= 1000\text{ kg m}^{-3})

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The osmotic pressure π\pi of the solution is balanced by the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column.

π=ρgh\pi = \rho g h

Given:
Density of solution, ρ=1000 kg m−3\rho = 1000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}
Acceleration due to gravity, g=10 m s−2g = 10 \text{ m s}^{-2}
Height difference, h=80.0 mm=0.08 mh = 80.0 \text{ mm} = 0.08 \text{ m}

π=1000×10×0.08=800 Pa=0.8 kPa\pi = 1000 \times 10 \times 0.08 = 800 \text{ Pa} = 0.8 \text{ kPa}

From the van 't Hoff equation for osmotic pressure:
π=CRT=nVRT\pi = C R T = \dfrac{n}{V} R T

Given:
Volume of solution, V=1 L=1 dm3V = 1 \text{ L} = 1 \text{ dm}^3
Gas constant, R=8.3 kPa dm3 K−1mol−1R = 8.3 \text{ kPa dm}^3 \text{ K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}
Temperature, T=300 KT = 300 \text{ K}

Substituting the values:
0.8=n1×8.3×3000.8 = \dfrac{n}{1} \times 8.3 \times 300

n=0.82490 moln = \dfrac{0.8}{2490} \text{ mol}

The mass of hemoglobin is w=20 g=0.02 kgw = 20 \text{ g} = 0.02 \text{ kg}.
The molar mass MM in kg mol−1\text{kg mol}^{-1} is:
M=wn=0.020.82490M = \dfrac{w}{n} = \dfrac{0.02}{\dfrac{0.8}{2490}}

M=0.02×24900.8=49.80.8=62.25 kg mol−1M = \dfrac{0.02 \times 2490}{0.8} = \dfrac{49.8}{0.8} = 62.25 \text{ kg mol}^{-1}

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 6262.

Answer: 6262
