Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the osmotic pressure of a solution is 3.0 atm at 25 °C, what is the molarity of the solution? (R = 0.0821 L atm/(K mol))
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for molarity (M) using osmotic pressure (π): M = π / (RT).
  • Step 2: Note the values given in the question: π = 3.0 atm, R = 0.0821 L atm/(K mol), and the temperature (T) = 25 °C.
  • Step 3: Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin: T = 25 + 273 = 298 K.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: M = 3.0 / (0.0821 * 298).
  • Step 5: Calculate the denominator: 0.0821 * 298 = 24.4758.
  • Step 6: Divide the osmotic pressure by the calculated value: M = 3.0 / 24.4758.
  • Step 7: Perform the division to find the molarity: M ≈ 0.12 M.
