The molar mass of the gene fragment is 19182 g/mol.

What is osmotic pressure ?

Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane. It is also defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in a pure solvent by osmosis. Potential osmotic pressure is the maximum osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution if it were separated from its pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane.

We employ the osmotic pressure equation to determine the solute's concentration, which is:

π = iMRT

Using the values in the equation above, we obtain:  19182 g/mol.

Answer:

B) Osmosis of water molecules from unknown solution A likely caused the increase in mass observed.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a type of <em>diffusion </em>(a random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration) of water. Like other molecules, water can pass through a cell membrane and it will diffuse across the membrane, along its own concentration gradient independent of other particles that could be present in solution. The concentration of water in a solution is <em>inversely </em>(opposite) related to the concentration of the solute, meaning that water will move from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential during osmosis.

Unknown solution A had the highest water potential with a sucrose concentration of 0.0 M. This means that water diffused through the membranes of the cells in the sweet potato cube as it moved along its own <em>concentration gradient</em> (from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential) causing an increase in the mass of the sweet potato cube
