Chapter 14, Problem 60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rise in height for a 20% aqueous solution by mass of sucrose $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{12}}{\text{H}}_{\text{22}}{\text{O}}_{\text{11}}\right)$ is about 150 m should be verified.

Concept introduction:

The relation between osmotic pressure and concentration is as follows:

$\text{π}=CRT$ .......(1)

Where, $\text{π }$ is osmotic pressure, C is concentration, R is Gas constant and T is temperature.

Formula of molarity or concentration is,

$\text{Molarity=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute}}{\text{Volume}\text{in}\text{Litre}}$

Formula of mole number is,

$\text{Number}\text{of moles}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar}\text{Mass}}$
