Isotonic saline solution, which has the same osomotic pressure as blood, can be prepared by dissolving 0.923 g of NaCl in enough water to produce 100. mL of solution. What is the osmotic pressure of this solution at 25∘C? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate
Osmosis occurs when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The membrane allows solvent particles, but not solute particles, to pass through. Thus, the solvent moves toward the solution of higher concentration (to dilute it) until the two solutions have the same concentration, or until gravity overtakes the osmotic pressure, Π
Π=MRT where M is the total molarity of the solute particles, R=0.08206L⋅atm/(K⋅mol) is the gas constant, and T is the Kelvin temperature.
