Question

What is the osmotic pressure of a .25 M solution of NaCl at 25 degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

6.113 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Molarity of the solution = 0.25 M

Temperature, T = 25° C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Now,

Osmotic pressure (π) is given as:

π = MRT

where,

M is the molarity of the solution

R is the ideal gas constant = 0.082057 L atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹

on substituting the respective values, we get

π = 0.25 × 0.082057 × 298

or

π = 6.113 atm
