Osmotic pressureMediumQuestion 750008
Question
The osmotic pressure of a solution is given by:
- Aπ = CRT (or MRT)Correct
- Bπ = nRT/V²
- Cπ = kT/C
- Dπ = RT × density
Correct answer
π = CRT (or MRT)
Explanation
Osmotic pressure: π = CRT = MRT, where C = M = molar concentration, R = gas constant, T = temperature in K. Analogous to the ideal gas equation.
