Answer: The osmotic pressure is 54307.94 Torr.
Explanation:
To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:
[tex]\pi=iCRT[/tex]
where,
[tex]\pi[/tex] = osmotic pressure of the solution = ?
i = Van't hoff factor = 3
C = concentration of solute = 0.958 M
R = Gas constant = [tex]62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}[/tex]
T = temperature of the solution = [tex]30^oC=[30+273]K=303K[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\pi=3\times 0.958mol/L\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 303K\\\\\pi=54307.94Torr[/tex]
Hence, the osmotic pressure is 54307.94 Torr.
