Which statement is incorrect about osmotic pressure (), volume (V) and temperature (T)? — Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

I don't see the answer options (A, B, C, D) in your question. To provide a proper explanation of why option C is incorrect, please share all the statements. However, here are the **key relationships for osmotic pressure** that typically appear in such questions: $$\pi = iMRT$$ where $i$ = van't Hoff factor, $M$ = molarity, $R$ = gas constant, $T$ = temperature **Common correct statements:** - $\pi \propto T$ (at constant concentration) — osmotic pressure increases with temperature - $\pi \propto V^{-1}$ (at constant moles) — osmotic pressure decreases with volume increase - $\pi$ is a **colligative property** — depends on solute particles, not their nature **Common incorrect statements (to watch for):** - "$\pi$ is independent of temperature" ✗ - "$\pi$ increases with increasing volume" ✗ - "$\pi$ depends on the type of solute" ✗ Please provide the four options so I can identify exactly why C is the incorrect statement.
