Chapter 3: Problem 30
A biological molecule of unknown mass can be prepared in pure powdered form. If 15 \(\mathrm{g}\) of this powder is added to a container with \(1 \mathrm{~L}\) of water at \(T=300 \mathrm{~K}\), which is initially at atmospheric pressure, the pressure inside the container increases to \(P=1.3 \mathrm{~atm}\). (a) What is the molecular weight of the biological molecules? (b) What is the mass of each molecule expressed in atomic units?
