Question

The osmotic pressure exerted by a solution is equal to the molarity multiplied by the absolute temperature and the gas constant R. Suppose the osmotic pressure of a certain solution is measured to be 22 atm at an absolute temperature of 353K. Write an equation that will let you calculate the molarity c of this solution. Your equation should contain only symbols. Be sure you define each symbol other than R.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmotic pressure is defined as the minimum pressure that has to be applied to a solution in order to prevent the inward flow of the pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane.

The formula used to calculate the osmotic pressure of the solution follows:

`\pi =iCRT`

where,

C = molarity of the solution

T = absolute temperature of the solution

`\pi` = osmotic pressure exerted by a solution

i = Van't Hoff factor or the ions present in the solution
