The osmotic of a solution of a synthentic polyisobutylene in benzene was determined at 25oC . A sample containing 0.20 g of solute/100cm3 of solution developed a rise of 2.4 mm at osmotic equilibrium . The density of the solution was 0.88 g/cm3 . What is the molecular waight of the polyisobutylene.
Osmotic pressure=h*density*g
Osmotic pressure=2.4*0.88*9.8=20.7 Pa
Osmotic pressure=CRT
C=concentration in molarity
20.7=C*8.314*298
C=0.0084M
C=(0.2/molecular mass of the polyisobutylene.)1000/vol. of solution
Molecular mass the polyisobutylene.=0.2*1000/100*0.0084
Molecular mass the polyisobutylene=238gmol-1
