Question

The osmotic pressure exerted by a solution is equal to the molarity multiplied by the absolute temperature and the gas constant . Suppose the osmotic pressure of a certain solution is measured to be at an absolute temperature of .

Answer 1

c = π/T*R

c = 0.199M

Step-by-step explanation:

Is measured to be 5.1 atm at an absolute temperature of 312. K. 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.

The osmotic pressure of a solution, π, is defined as:

π = c*T*R

As we know osmotic pressure π = 5.1atm, T = 312K and R = 0.082atmL/molK

we can replace in the equation as follows:

π= c*T*R

c = π/T*R

c = 5.1atm/312K*0.082atmL/molK

c = 0.199M
