...
 Water  is  a  good  solvent  for  dextran  because  it  is  able  to  expand  chains  of  
polysaccharides  in  the  dextran
...
 This  causes  resistance  in  the  flow  of  liquid,  which  then  defines  
the  viscosity
...
8oC,  according  to  the  textbook,  is  0
...
cm/sec
...
 The  viscosity  was  calculated  by  dividing  the  sample  efflux  time  by  the  efflux  time  of  water  then  
subtracting  it  by  1
...
 
The  y-­‐intercept  (intrinsic  viscosity  of  dextran)  was  determined  to  be  0
...
 This  value  can  be  plotted  against  
molecular  weight  to  get  the  molecular  weight  of  the  unknown
...
5000  while  K  is  0
...
 Using  
N=KMa,  the  molecular  weight  was  calculated  to  be  134,744
...
   
III
...
 Based  on  the  results,  as  the  concentration  of  dextran  increased,  the  more  it  is  viscous;  
the  viscosity  of  the  sample  increases  as  the  concentration  increases
...
359  and  the  molar  mass  was  calculated  to  be  134,744
