A solution of sucrose (molar mass = 342 g/mol) is prepared by dissolving 68.4 g of it per litre of the solution. What is its osmotic pressure (R = 0.082 lit. atm.k-1mol-1) at 273 K?
Weight given (sucrose) = 68.4 gram
Gas constant (R) = 0.082 lit. atm.K−1 mol−1
Temperature = 273 K
Molecular mass = 342 gm/mol
V = 1
Hence using the formula of osmotic pressure we get
π=w×R×Tmolarmass×Volume
π=68.4×0.082×273342
π=4.48atm
