    A solution containing 4 g of polyvinyl chloride polymer in one litre of dioxane was found to have an osmotic pressure of\[4.1\times {{10}^{-4}}\]atm at\[{{27}^{o}}C\]. The approximate molecular weight of the polymer is

    A)  1500

    B)  10,000

    C)  \[2.4\times {{10}^{5}}\]

    D)  \[2\times {{10}^{12}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Given, weight of PVC,\[w=4\text{ }g\] Volume of solution, \[V=1\text{ }L\] Osmotic pressure,  \[\pi =4.1\times {{10}^{-4}}\] Temperature, \[T={{27}^{o}}C=27+273=300\text{ }K\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\pi V=nRT\] or    \[\pi V=\frac{w}{M}RT\] (M = molecular weight) \[4.1\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 1=\frac{4}{M}\times 0.0821\times 300\] \[M=\frac{4\times 0.0821\times 300}{4\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 1}\] \[\therefore \]  \[M=2.4\times {{10}^{5}}\]
