    Which of the following colligative properties can provide molar mass of proteins (polymers or colloids) with greatest precision?

    A) Depression in freezing point

    B) Osmotic pressure

    C) Relative lowering of vapour pressure

    D) Elevation of boiling point

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    It is the minimum excess pressure that has to be applied on the solution to prevent the entry of the solvent into the solution through the semi-permeable membrane. \[\operatorname{As} \pi V=nRT\] \[\pi  = Osmotic pressure\] Hence for the determination of molecular masses of proteins/polymers, it is considered to be one of the suitable methods as a colligative property.
