A solution is prepared by dissolving 40.00 g of MgCl2 (f.w. = 95.211 g mol–1), a non-volatile solute, in enough water (m.w. = 18.02 g mol–1) to result in exactly 2 L of solution at 25 °C. Assume the density of the solution is that of pure water (dsolution = 1.000 g mL–1). The ebullioscopic constant (Kb) for water is 0.513 °C m–1. The cryoscopic constant (Kf) for water is 1.86 °C m–1. The vapor pressure of pure water is 0.0313 atm. Determine the osmotic pressure in atm.

Question

A solution is prepared by dissolving 40.00 g of MgCl2 (f.w. = 95.211 g mol–1), a non-volatile solute, in enough water (m.w. = 18.02 g mol–1) to result in exactly 2 L of solution at 25 °C. Assume the density of the solution is that of pure water (dsolution = 1.000 g mL–1).

  • The ebullioscopic constant (Kb) for water is 0.513 °C m–1.
  • The cryoscopic constant (Kf) for water is 1.86 °C m–1.
  • The vapor pressure of pure water is 0.0313 atm.

Determine the osmotic pressure in atm.
