Q.

At 27°C, a solution containing 2.5 g of solute in 250.0 mL of solution exerts an osmotic pressure of 400 Pa. The molar mass of the solute is ______ g mol-1.

(Given: R = 0.083 L bar K-1 mol-1)                 [2023]


Ans.

(62250)

π=CRT

400×10-5(1.01325)=[2.5×1000Msolute×250](0.083×300)

400×10-5=10Msolute×0.083×300

Msolute=10×0.083×300400×105

              =[10×0.083×34]×105=62250 gram/mole
