In addition, other pollutants like fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy metals are often attached to the soil particles and wash into the water bodies, causing algal blooms and depleted oxygen, which is deadly to most aquatic life.

Osmotic pressure Π is given by the relation:Π = iMRTwhere i is the van’t Hoff factor, M is the concentration of solute, R is the

lions [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of solute is 0.503 mol/L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=icRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 24 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 2 (for NaCl)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.08\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$24atm=2\times c\times 0.08\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\c=0.503mol/L$

Hence, the concentration of solute is 0.503 mol/L
