What is osmotic pressure of a solution that contains 13.7 g of propyl alcohol (C3H7OH) dissolved in enough water to make 500 mL of solution at 27C ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

11.23 atm

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 13.7 g

Volume = 500mL = 0.5 L

Molar concentration =  [tex]\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume}}\\[/tex]

Moles =[tex]\frac{\text{MassC3H7OH }}{\text{Molar mass C3H7OH }}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13.7}{0.5}[/tex]= 0.2279534 moles

Molar concentration =[tex]\frac{0.2279534}{0.5}[/tex]  = 0.4559 M

π = icRT

where

Osmotic pressure = π

Van't Hoff factor (i) = 1

Molar concentration of solute (c) = 0.4559 M

Ideal gas constant (R) = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Kelvin Temperature (T) = 273 + 27 = 300 K

[tex]\pi[/tex] = 1 * 0.4559 * 0.0821 * 300

= 11.23 atm

The value of osmotic pressure is 11.23 atm.

Equation of osmotic pressure:-

[tex]pi= icRT[/tex]......(1)

where Osmotic pressure = pi

Van't Hoff factor=i=1

Ideal gas constant =R= 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Temerature=T,(273 + 27) = 300 K

Concentration=c

Given:-

Mass = 13.7 g

Volume = 500mL = 0.5 L 

Moles = [tex]\frac{Mass}{Molar mass} =\frac{13.7g}{60.09g/mol} =0.2279534\ mol[/tex]

Molar concentration = [tex]\frac{0.2279\ mol}{0.5\ L}[/tex] = 0.4559 M

Molar concentration of solute (c) = 0.4559 M

Substitute all the values in equation (1) as follows:-

[tex]pi = 1 * 0.4559 * 0.0821 * 300= 11.23 atm[/tex]
