Question : Howthe osmotic pressure of given solution (non-electrolyte) such as sucrose can be calculated?

Answer»

Solution :Osmotic pressure can be calculated by using following relationship :O.P = CRT
where C is molar concentration of solution at incipient plasmolysis. R is the gas constant which is 0.082 T is the ABSOLUTE temperature i.e. 273 + `t^(@)`C. A molar solution of SUCROSE solution separated from pure waterby semipermeable MEMBRANE has an O.P. of approximately 22.4 atm. at `0^(@)`C.
