Question

Transcribed Image Text:You have begun your career in medicinal biochemistry and have just discovered a bacterial DNA plasmld (transferabl
ring of DNA) that appears to destroy the Ebola virus. In order to characterize your new plasmid, the molar mass of
the plasmid must be determined. You dissolve 25.00 mg of the purified plasmid in 0.200 mL of water at 2 °C and find
the osmotlc pressure of this solution is 1.20 Torr at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure.
Answer the following about the Ebola-killing plasmid.
33.) The osmotlc pressure of the system is:
(a) 1 atm
(b) 0.016 atm
(c) 6.5 X 10-5 atm
(d) 22.59 atm
(e) 0.0016 atm
