    The osmotic pressure at\[{{17}^{o}}C\]of an aqueous solution containing 1.75g of sucrose per 150 mL solution is:

    A)  0.08 atm             

    B)  8.1 atm

    C)  0.8 atm                               

    D)  9.1 aim

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Use formula\[PV=nRT\]to solve the problem. P = osmotic pressure = ? \[V=150\text{ }mL=0.15\text{ }L\] \[n=no.\text{ }of\text{ }moles=\frac{mass\text{ }of\text{ }solute}{molecular\text{ }mass\text{ }of\text{ }solute}\]                 \[=\frac{1.75\,g}{342}\] \[=0.005\] \[R=0.0821\] \[T=17{}^\circ C=17+273=290\text{ }K\] \[PV=nRT\] \[=\frac{0.005\times 0.0821\times 290}{0.15}\] \[=0.8\text{ }atm\]
