Final answer:

The osmotic pressure of a 0.82% NaCl solution at 36°C is 34 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The osmotic pressure of a solution can be calculated using the formula II = MRT, where II is the osmotic pressure, M is the molarity of the solution, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the molarity of the solution is 0.70 M NaCl. Since 1 mol of NaCl produces 2 mol of particles, the total concentration of dissolved particles is (2)(0.70 M) = 1.4 M.

Plugging in the values into the formula, II = (1.4 mol/L) [0.0821 (L· atm)/(K · mol)] (298 K) = 34 atm.

Answer: e. 3.5 atm

Step-by-step explanation:


\pi =CRT


\pi = osmotic pressure = ?

C= concentration in Molarity

R= solution constant = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol

T= temperature =
36^0C=(36+273)K=309K

For the given solution: 0.82 grams of
NaCl is dissolved in 100 g of solution.


{\text {volume of solution}}=\frac{\text {mass of solution}}{\text {Density of solution}}=(100g)/(1.0g/ml)=100ml


Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}* 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}* \text{volume of solution in ml}}

Putting in the values we get:


C_(NaCl)=(0.82* 1000)/(58.5* 100)=0.14M


\pi=0.14mol/L* 0.0821Latm/Kmol* 309K


\pi=3.5atm

The osmotic pressure of a 0.82% NaCl by weight aqueous solution is 3.5 atm
