Chemistry - Liquid Solution Question with Solution | TestHub
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding osmotic pressure?
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Osmotic pressure is a colligative property given by the expression , where is the molar concentration of the solution, is the gas constant, and is the absolute temperature.
From this expression, it is evident that osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution () at a given temperature.
Since , where is the number of moles of solute, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of solute.
It is also directly proportional to the absolute temperature ().
Thus, the only true statement is that osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution.
Answer: It is directly proportational to the concentration of solution.
