JEE Advanced 2025 — Paper 2 — Question 42

At 300 K , an ideal dilute solution of a macromolecule exerts osmotic pressure that is expressed in terms of the height (h) of the solution (density =1.00 g cm−3=1.00 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3} ) where h is

equal to 2.00 cm . If the concentration of the dilute solution of the macromolecule is 2.00 gdm−32.00 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}, the molar mass of the macromolecule is calculated

to be X×104 g mol−1{X} \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}.

The value of X{X} is \qquad . Use : Universal gas constant (R)=8.3 J K−1 mol−1(\mathrm{R})=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} and acceleration due to gravity (g)=10 m s−2(\mathrm{g})=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}

Answer: 2.49

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

π=ρgh=103×10×2×10−2\pi=\rho \mathrm{gh}=10^{3} \times 10 \times 2 \times 10^{-2} Pascal =200=200 Pascal

π=\pi= CRT 200=2M×1000×8.3×300200=\frac{2}{\mathrm{M}} \times 1000 \times 8.3 \times 300

M=24900=2.49×104 g/mol\mathrm{M}=24900=2.49 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}

X=2.49\mathrm{X}=2.49
