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.

Ammonia gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C Ammonia gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 90C b. Carbon dioxide gas in water with P = 2 atm and T = 50C Carbon dioxide gas in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C c. Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 60C Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C d. Table sugar in water with P = 2 atm and T = 40C Table sugar in water with P = 1 atm and T = 70Carrow_forwardSimple acids such as formic acid, HCOOH, and acetic acid, CH3COOH, are very soluble in water; however, fatty acids such as stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH, and palmitic acid, CH3(CH2)14COOH, are water-insoluble. Based on what you know about the solubility of alcohols, explain the solubility of these organic acids.arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs of solutions, select the solution for which solute solubility is greatest. a.

- When 14.3 g of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 85.0 g of benzene C6H6, the freezing point of the solution is measured to be 0.5 °C. Calculate the molar mass of X. molal freezing point depression constant (Kf)°C·kg·mol−1 of benzen is 5.07 If you need any additional information on benzene, use only what you find in the ALEKS Data resource. Also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward4) 2 tons of saturated manganese chloride solution are subjected to crystallization by cooling the solution from 50 °C to 0 °C. Calculate the mass of MnCl2·4H2O crystals if the solubility of MnCl2 at 50 °C is 98 g/100 gH2O, and at 0°C it is 63 g/100 gH20.arrow_forwardA sample of 2.05 g of polystyrene of uniform polymer chainlength was dissolved in enough toluene to form 0.100 L of solution.The osmotic pressure of this solution was found to be 1.21kPa at 25 °C.

- The osmotic pressure at the base of a houseplant kept at 27ºC is 1.6 × 104 N/m2. Calculate the molar concentration of the dissolved molecules in the plant’s veins if there are no dissolved molecules in the soil water.arrow_forwardYou have a flask weighing 121.214 g. To this flask, you added 25.00 mL KCl(aq) solution. You weigh the flask, it is now 150.234 g. You then take the flask to a heating source and evaporate all solvents. When the flask cool down to room temperature, you weigh the flask again, it is 124.231 g. What is the molality of the KCI (aq) solution? The amus for K is 39 and Cl is 35.5, respectivelyarrow_forward
