Concept introduction
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution. We can calculate osmotic pressure by using this formula is given by,
Osmotic pressure
Where,
Molarity (M): The concentration for solutions is expressed in terms of molarity. Molarity is number of moles of the solute present in liter of the solution.

- A CaCl2 solution at 25C has an osmotic pressure of 16 atm and a density of 1.108 g/mL. What is the freezing point of this solution?arrow_forwardAssume that 30 L of maple sap yields one kilogram of maple syrup (66% sucrose, C12H22O11). What is the molality of the sucrose solution after one fourth of the water content of the sap has been removed?arrow_forwardFish blood has an osmotic pressure equal to that of seawater. If seawater freezes at 2.3C, what is the osmotic pressure of the blood at 20C? To solve this problem, what assumptions must be made?arrow_forward
