Question 41

Determine the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 25 mg of K2SO4 in 2 liter of water at 25° C, assuming that it is completely dissociated.

Answer

If K2SO4 is completely dissociated then these ions are produced

Then K2SO4 = 2K+ + SO42-

So total number of ions produced = 3

Therefore I =3

Now molecular mass of K2SO4 = 2 x 39 + 1 x 32 + 4 x 16 = 174 g/mol

Now π = I Crt

= I WB X RT / MB X V

= 3 X 25 X 10-3 X 0.082 X 298  /  174 X 2

= 5.27 X 10-3 atm.
