The most abundant protein on Earth, Rubisco, is a 530,000.0 g/mol enzyme involved in photosynthesis. You dissolve 33.568 g of Rubisco in 250 ml of water at 25.0 °C. Assume the mixture behaves as an ideal solution and the Rubisco is non-volatile. For pure water, the vapor pressure at 25.0°C is 0.0313 atm, the density is 1.00 g/ml, and the molecular weight is 18.02 g/mol. A) Would the vapor pressure of the Rubisco solution be larger or smaller than that of pure water? By how would it change?
