Answer:

The osmotic pressure of ocean water is about 27 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pure water is water that contains no impurities. Ocean water is 96.5% pure with only about 3.5% of its content, salt water.

Osmotic pressure occurs when solutions that have different concentrations are isolated by a membrane. This osmotic pressure makes water move towards the solution that has the highest concentration, which means that if the concentration or temperature of the solution is high, the osmotic pressure becomes higher.

The equation for osmotic pressure is pi = iMRT.
