Chapter 13, Problem 66QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The osmotic pressure of the given solution is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Osmotic pressure of a solution is the external pressure applied on the solution to stop osmosis.

Osmotic pressure is proportional to molarity of solution at a particular temperature.

Mathematically, it is expressed as follows:

$\pi =MRT$

Here, $\pi$ is the osmotic pressure, $M$ is the molarity of the solution, $T$ is the absolute temperature, and $R$ is the gas constant.
