The osmotic pressure of
Concept Introduction:
By using the Osmometric method, the molar mass of solute can be calculated as follows:
Step-1: The observed osmotic pressure has to be converted into solute molar concentration,
Step-2: The amount of solute (in moles) in the solution is calculated by multiplying the molar concentration of solute by the volume of solution.
Step-3: The molar mass of the solute is calculated by dividing the given mass of solute (in grams) by the calculated amount in moles.
