1) Dextran is a polymeric carbohydrate produced by
certain bacteria. It is used as a blood plasma substitute. An
aqueous solution contains 0.582g of the Dextran in 106 mL of
solution. It has an osmotic pressure of 1.47 mm of HG.
b) what is the molarity of that Dextran solution. Hint use the
osmotic pressure equation T=298k, R = 0.0821L ATM / mol k.
c) how many moles of dextran are present in the 106 mL solution.
Use the molarity equation.
d) what is the molar mass of the solute. MM= mass/mole.
