Answer:
6.20atm
Explanation:
Volume = 1L
Mass of dextrose (C6H12O6) = 44g
First, let us calculate the molarity of dextrose sugar. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of dextrose (C6H12O6) = (12x6) + (12x1) + (16x6) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180g/mol
Number of mole of dextrose = Mass / Molar Mass = 44/180 = 0.244mol
Molarity of dextrose = mole /Volume
Molarity of dextrose = 0.244/1
Molarity = 0.244mol/L
Using the osmotic pressure formula, we can simply solve as illustrated below:
Π = iMRT
i = 1 ( since dextrose is non electrolyte)
M = 0.244mol/L
R = 0.082atm.L/K /mol
T = 37°C = 37 + 273 = 310K
Π =?
Π = iMRT
Π = 1 x 0.244 x 0.082 x 310
Π = 6.20atm
