The osmotic pressure of a solution made from 12.5 g of CaCl2 in enough water to make 500 mL, if CaCl2 is 78.5% dissociated at 30oC is 167.087 atm
Osmotic pressure and osmosis are connected. Osmosis is the passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane into a solution. The pressure that halts the osmosis process is known as osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is a collective attribute of material because its value is determined by the solute's concentration rather than its chemical composition.
The formula used to calculate Osmotic Pressure is:-
π = M x R x T x i
Where;
π =osmotic pressure (in atm)
M=molar concentration (in mol/L)
=(given mass/molar mass)/volume=(12.5g /111.0)/(500/1000)
=0.224 mol/L
R=Universal gas constant (0.08206 L.atm/mol.K)
T=absolute temperature (in K) = 30.C + 273 = 303 K
i= van't Hoff factor of solute =3
using the formula and substituting values;
π=0.224 x 0.08206 x 303 x 3
= 167.087 atm
The osmotic pressure is 167.087 atm
