Calculate the osmotic pressure of a magnesium citrate laxative solution containing 28.5 g of magnesium citrate in 234 mL of solution at 37 deg * C (approximate body temperature). Assume complete dissociation of the lonic compound.
Magnesium citrate, Mg3 (C6H5 O7)2, belongs to a
class of laxatives called hyperosmotics, which are
used for rapid emptying of the bowel. When a
concentrated solution of magnesium citrate is
consumed, it passes through the intestines,
drawing water and promoting diarrhea, usually
within 6 hours.
