Answer:
1.7 Osm/L
Explanation:
Osmotic concentration is the number of osmoles (Osm) of solute per litre of solution .
[tex]\text{Osmotic concentration} = \dfrac{\text{No. of osmoles }}{\text{Litres of solution}}[/tex]
An osmole is the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure of a solution.
1 Osm = i × n, where
i = the van't Hoff i factor and
n = the number of moles
The van't Hoff i factor is the number of solute particles obtained from 1 mol of solute.
For example,
MgSO₄(aq) ⟶ Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
1 mol of MgSO₄ produces 2 mol of ions in solution, so i = 2.
[tex]\text{Osmotic concentration} = \dfrac{\text{1.0 Osm}}{\text{0.6 L}} = \textbf{1.7 Osmol/L}[/tex]
