Explain the relation between osmotic pressure and concentration of solution. |
|
Answer» (1) Consider V dm3 of a solution in which n1 moles of a solvent contains n2 moles of a nonvolatile solute at absolute temperature T. (2) The osmotic pressure, n of a solution is given by, π = \(\frac{nRT}{V}\) R is gas constant having value 0.08206 dm3 atm K-1 mol-1 (OR L atm K-1 mol-1). Since concentration, C of a solution is in mol dm-3 or molarity is, C = \(\frac{n}{V}\) mol dm-3 or M ∴ π = CRT (If concentration C is expressed in mol-3 m and R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, then π will be in SI units, pascals or Nm-2) |
