Osmotic pressure is generally preferred for determining the molecular masses of protein because
- it is difficult to find out mole fraction of protein for calculations by other methods
- at elevated temperature the proteins are likely to decompose and osmotic pressure is measured around room temperature
- the apparatus involved in finding out osmotic pressure is simpler than other methods
- it is easy to boil or freeze a solution containing proteins.
Answer
(B) at elevated temperature the proteins are likely to decompose and osmotic pressure is measured around room temperature
