Calculate the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 24.6 $\mathrm{g}$ of glyc-
erin $\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right)$ in 250.0 $\mathrm{mL}$ of solution at 298 $\mathrm{K}$ .

Key Concepts

Osmotic Pressure

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to stop the net flow of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane that separates a solution from its pure solvent. It is a key colligative property that depends primarily on the concentration of solute particles in the solution and the absolute temperature, rather than on the nature of the solute itself.

Colligative Properties

Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles present, not on their specific type. These properties include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure, and they provide important insights into the behavior of solutions as solute concentration varies.

Molarity and Molar Mass

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. To calculate molarity, one must first convert the given mass of the solute to moles using the molar mass, then divide by the volume of the solution in liters. This conversion is essential for applying formulas that depend on solute concentration.

Ideal Solution Assumption

The ideal solution assumption considers that the solution behaves in a way that adheres to ideal thermodynamic laws, meaning that interactions between solute and solvent molecules do not deviate significantly from those in a pure solvent. This assumption simplifies calculations, such as those involving osmotic pressure, by allowing the use of the formula ? = MRT without accounting for activity coefficients or non-ideal behavior.
