This is an application of osmotic pressure which is one of the colligative properties of substances. The formula of osmotic pressure is expressed as P = MRT where M is molarity , R is the gas constant and T is temperature. When M is equal to a total of 0.305 M and T is equal to 298 K , P should be equal to 7.46 atm
