Determine the osmotic pressure of the aqueous solution which contains 14g of urea in 300cm3 of

the solution at 250C.

Solution
The given entities are
i = 14g
T = 25oC = 298K
c = 300 cm3
R = 8.314 JK-1mol - 1
We have an equation
Osmotic pressure = iRTc
Substituting the above values, we get
Osmotic pressure = 14g x 8.314 JK - 1 mol - 1 x 298K x 300cm 3
Osmotic pressure = 104.05 x 105 Nm - 2

Determine the osmotic pressure of a solution made by adding 13.65g of sucrose(C12H22O11) in

water to make 250 mL of solution at 25 o C.
Solution
Calculate the concentration of sucrose
Molar mass of sucrose = 12(2) + 22(1) + 11(16)
Molar mass = 342
nsucrose = 13.65 x 1 mol / 342
nsucrose = 0.04 mol
msucrose = nsucrose / volumesolution
= 0.04mol/0.25L
= 0.16mol/L
T = 25oC + 273
= 298 K
Osmotic Pressure, ‘π’ = iMRT
= 1 x 0.16 mol / L x 0.08206 x 298 K
= 3.9atm
Hence, the osmotic pressure of sucrose = 3.9atm
