Which would have the higher osmotic pressure: a 0.10 M solution of NaCl or a 0.10 M solution of KBr?

1 answer:

5 0

Osmotic pressure is calculated by multiplying the molarity, temperature and the universal gas constant. It is expressed as:

P = iMRT

Say the temperature for both solutions is 373.15 K.

P(NaCl) = 2 x 0.10 x 0.08206 x 373.15 = 3.06 atm
P(KBr) = 2 x 0.10 x 0.08206 x 373.15 = 3.06 atm

They will have the same osmotic pressure since they have the same concentration, dissociate into 2 ions and at the same temperature.

How many grams of iron (3)sulfide are produced when 131 grams of iron react with excess sulfur?

Tomtit [17]

We want the molar mass (gfm) of Fe and FeS.

Fe = 55.8 g/mol and FeS = 87.8 g/mol (55.8 +32.0).
