A solution concentration is expressed in molarity and not in molality while considering osmotic pressure. Why ? |
Answer» 1. While calculating osmotic pressure by equation, π = CRT, the concentration is expressed in molarity but not in molality. 2. This is because the measurements of osmotic pressure are made at a certain constant temperature. 3. Molarity depends upon temperature but molality is independent of temperature. 4. Hence in osmotic pressure measurements, concentration is expressed in molarity. |
