Each of the following is a 0.10M solution at 300K. With R=0.0821Latmmol−1K−1, which have an osmotic pressure greater than 4.0 atm? (For π=iCRT use i=1+(n−1)α.)
ANaCl, fully dissociated (α=1)
BKX2SOX4, α=0.40 (n=3)
CUrea
DAcetic acid, CHX3COOHCHX3COOX−+HX+, α=0.010
Answer: A, B
The reference value is CRT=0.10×0.0821×300=2.463 atm, so i must exceed 1.62. NaCl has i=2 giving 4.93 atm. KX2SOX4 has i=1+2×0.40=1.8 giving 4.43 atm. Acetic acid (i=1.01) and urea (i=1) give about 2.5 atm and 2.46 atm, below 4.0.
