How does increasing the concentration of a nonvolatile solute in water affect the following properties:Vapor pressure: DecreasesFreezing point: DecreaseBoiling point: IncreasesOsmotic pressure: ???

Respuesta :

Answer: Osmotic pressure : increases

Explanation:

Osmotic  pressure is the minimum pressure which is applied to  a solution to prevent the flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane

[tex]\pi =CRT[/tex]

[tex]\pi[/tex]= osmotic pressure

C= concentration in Molarity  (number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution)

R= solution constant

T= temperature

Thus as osmotic pressure is directly proportional top concentration, osmotic pressure will increase on  increasing the concentration of a nonvolatile solute in water.
