    Study Notes

    Osmotic Pressure

    • Osmotic pressure measures the pressure required to prevent the flow of water into a solution through a semipermeable membrane.
    • As solute concentration increases, osmotic pressure also increases.
    • The unit of measurement for osmotic pressure is atmospheres (atm) or pascals (Pa).

    Calculating Osmotic Pressure

    • The formula to calculate osmotic pressure is: π = iMRT, where π is the osmotic pressure, i is the Van't Hoff factor, M is the molarity of the solution, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

    Temperature and Van't Hoff Factor

    • Osmotic pressure increases with an increase in temperature.
    • For a non-electrolyte solute, the Van't Hoff factor (i) is 1, indicating that the solute does not dissociate in solution.
