Question

x g of a non-electrolyte (molar mass 20) are dissolved in 1.0 L of 0.05 M NaCl aqueous solution. The osmotic pressure of this mixture was found to be 4.92 atm at 270C. What is the value of x?

Assume complete dissociation of NaCl and ideal behaviour of this solution.
(Solution constant = 0.082 L atm mol1 K1).

Solution

Given that,
π=4.92 atm,T=27+273=300K, V=1L

n1= moles of non electrolyte =x20

n2= moles of NaCl=0.05

Using,
πV=n1ST+n2(1+α)ST

πV=[n1+n2(1+α)]ST where α=1 for NaCl

4.92×1=(x/20+0.05×2)×0.082×300

or, x20=0.20.1=0.1

x=0.1×20=2g
