Chapter 10, Problem 3ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The picture has to be draw for the given explanation.

Concept Introduction:

Osmotic pressure: Osmosis can be prevented by applying a pressure to the solution. The minimum pressure that stops the osmosis is equal to the osmotic pressure of the solution.

Colligative properties of a substance include the depression in the freezing point, elevation of boiling-point and osmotic pressure. These are dependant only on the number present and not based on the solute particles present in an ideal solution.

The osmotic pressure can be given by the equation,

$\text{Π=MRT}$

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Here,Π=Osmotic}\text{pressure}\\ \text{M=Molarity}\text{of}\text{solution}\\ \text{R=}\text{Gas}\text{law}\text{constant}\\ \text{T=Temperature}\end{array}$
