Chapter 7, Problem 7.78E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The osmotic pressure of the mercurous solution of sodium is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The osmotic pressure is given by the formula,

$\Pi \overline{V}=x_{\text{solute}}RT$

In the above expression, $\Pi$ is the osmotic pressure, $\overline{V}$ is the volume, $x_{\text{solute}}$ is the mole fraction, $T$ is temperature and $R$ is the gas constant.
