Chapter 16, Problem 16.47P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The osmotic pressure at ${37}^{\circ }C$ of $0.25M$ aqueous solution of sucrose has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The relationship between osmotic pressure, solute concentration and temperature for a solution is given below.

  $\Pi =RT{M}_c$

Where, $R$ is universal gas constant, $T$ is the absolute temperature and $M_c$ is the colligative molarity.  The colligative molarity can be expressed as given below.

  $M_c=i\times M$

Where, $i$ is the number of solute particles produced per formula unit that is dissolved.
