Chapter 13, Problem 13.81QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: How would use osmotic pressure to determine the percent ionization of weak monoprotic acid to be described.

Concept introduction

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution.

Osmotic pressure $\text{(π) = MRT}$

Where,

M – Molarity of the solution (mole/L)

R- Ideal gas constant (0.08206 ${\text{L atm mol}}^{\text{-1}}{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}$)

T-Temperature in Kelvin
