Physical Chemistry [EXP-34184]

The sedimentation coefficient of a sample of human hemoglobin in water is equal to 4.48 svedberg at 20°C, and its density is $1.335 g mL^{−1}$ , The density of water at this temperature is equal to $0.998 g mL^{−1}$ . Use the value of the diffusion coefficient from Example 10.16 to determine the molar mass of hemoglobin.
