Question

Of the following measurements, the one most suitable for the determination of the molecular mass of oxy-haemoglobin, a molecule with a molecular mass of many thousands, is

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Because oxy-haemoglobin has a very large molecular mass, dilute solutions produce a negligible change in boiling and freezing points. Osmotic pressure, however, is large enough to be measured precisely at these low molar concentrations. Therefore, correct answer is C.
