What is the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 0.5 moles of solute in 1 liter of solution at 25 °C? (R = 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol)) (2021)
Step 1: Identify the formula for osmotic pressure, which is π = nRT/V.
Step 2: Determine the values needed for the formula: n (number of moles) = 0.5 moles, R (ideal gas constant) = 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol), T (temperature in Kelvin) = 25 °C + 273 = 298 K, and V (volume in liters) = 1 L.
Step 3: Plug the values into the formula: π = (0.5 moles * 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol) * 298 K) / 1 L.
