Answer:

π = 14.824 atm

Explanation:

wt % = ( w NaCL / w sea water ) * 100 = 3.5 %

assuming w sea water = 100 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ w NaCl = 3.5 g

osmotic pressure ( π ):

  • π = C NaCl * R * T

∴ T = 20 °C  + 273 = 293 K

∴ C ≡ mol/L

∴ density sea water = 1.03 Kg/L....from literature

⇒ volume sea water = 0.1 Kg * ( L / 1.03 Kg ) = 0.097 L sln

⇒ mol NaCl = 3.5 g NaCL * ( mol NaCL / 58.44 g ) = 0.06 mol

⇒ C NaCl = 0.06 mol / 0.097 L = 0.617 M

⇒ π = 0.617 mol/L * 0.082 atm L / K mol * 293 K

⇒ π = 14.824 atm

Answer:

Humidity is the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. It can be expressed as absolute humidity or relative humidity. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor divided by a unit volume of air (grams of water/cm3 of air).
