Question

If a 0.750M solution exerts an osmotic pressure of 22.5atm, what must be the temperature (in Kelvin) of the solution

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 365.58 K

Explanation:

Given that,

The concentration of solution, C = 0.750M

Osmotic pressure, P = 22.5 atm

We need to find the temperature of the solution.

The formula for the osmotic pressure is given by :

$P=CRT$

Where

R is gas constant, $R=0.08206\ L\ atm/mol-K$

$T=\dfrac{P}{CR}\\\\=\dfrac{22.5}{0.75\times 0.08206}\\\\=365.58\ K$

So, the temperature of the solution is 365.58 K.
