Determine the osmotic pressure () of a aqueous solution of at exactly . (Assume complete ionization, — Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Concentration $C = \frac{0.585\text{ g}}{100\text{ mL}} = \frac{5.85\text{ g}}{1\text{ L}}$. Molarity $= 5.85 / 58.5 = 0.1\text{ M}$. For $NaCl$, $i=2$. Osmotic pressure $\pi = iCRT = 2 \times 0.1 \times 0.0821 \times 300 = 4.926\text{ atm}$.
