Question

If 5.1 g of glucose, C6H12O6, is dissolved in 0.99 L of water at 303 K, what osmotic pressure, in atm, will the solution exhibit?

Expert Solution
Step 1 GIVEN CONDITIONS

It is given that

mass of glucose=5.1g

the molar mass of glucose=12×6 +12×1 + 6×16

                                   =72+12+96 = 180 gmol-1

Volume of water=0.99L

Temperature=303K

We can use the value of the gas constant R=0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1

The number of moles of glucose=mass of glucosemolar mass of glucose

=5.1 g180 gmol-1

=0.028
