Calculate the molar mass of the artificial sweetener?
A low carbohydrate recipe for ice cream uses an artificial sweetener instead of sugar but doesn't name the sweetener. To determine the identity of the sweetener, the osmotic pressure of a solution was measured at 7.2 atm. The ice cream solution was prepared at 298 degrees kelvin by adding 82.5 grams of sweetener to make .71 L of solution.

Recall,
Let's first derive the molarity of the synthetic sweetener (assuming
Hence,
is the approximate molar mass of the synthetic sugar under investigation, given your data.
