![### Calculating Osmotic Pressure of a Solution
#### Question 8 of 8:
**Question:**
What is the osmotic pressure, in atm, of a 0.285 M solution of MgCl₂ at 37.0 °C in atm? (Assume complete dissociation).
**Solution:**
To calculate the osmotic pressure (π), we use the formula:
\[
\pi = iMRT
\]
where:
- \( i \) is the van 't Hoff factor,
- \( M \) is the molarity of the solution,
- \( R \) is the ideal gas constant (\(0.0821 \, \text{L·atm·mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\)),
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
Given data:
- Molarity (M): \( 0.285 \, \text{M} \)
- Temperature (T): \( 37.0 \, \text{°C} \)
First, convert the temperature to Kelvin:
\[
T = 37.0 + 273.15 = 310.15 \, \text{K}
\]
Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) dissociates completely into one Mg²⁺ ion and two Cl⁻ ions. Thus, \( i \) = 3.
Plugging in the values:
\[
\pi = 3 \times 0.285 \, \text{M} \times 0.0821 \, \text{L·atm·mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1} \times 310.15 \, \text{K}
\]
Perform the multiplication:
\[
\pi = 3 \times 0.285 \times 0.0821 \times 310.15
\]
\[
\pi ≈ 21.7261 \, \text{atm}
\]
So, the osmotic pressure of the 0.285 M MgCl₂ solution at 37.0 °C is approximately 21.73 atm.
