**Osmotic Pressure and Molar Concentration Calculation**

When 3.49 g of a nonelectrolyte solute is dissolved in water to make 755 mL of solution at 27 °C, the solution exerts an osmotic pressure of 879 torr.

**Questions:**

1. **What is the molar concentration of the solution?**

   - **Concentration:** ___________ M

2. **How many moles of solute are in the solution?**

   - **Moles of solute:** ___________ mol

3. **What is the molar mass of the solute?**

   - **Molar mass:** ___________ g/mol

**Instructions:**

- Use the ideal gas law equation for osmotic pressure: \(\Pi = iMRT\), where:
  - \(\Pi\) = osmotic pressure (in atms, convert torr to atm)
  - \(i\) = van't Hoff factor (for nonelectrolytes, \(i = 1\))
  - \(M\) = molarity (moles/L)
  - \(R\) = ideal gas constant (\(0.0821 \, \text{L atm/mol K}\))
  - \(T\) = temperature in Kelvin

- Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.

- Calculate the molar concentration from the given osmotic pressure.

- Calculate the number of moles of solute using the molarity and volume.

- Determine the molar mass using the mass of the solute and the number of moles calculated.
