Question

What is the osmotic pressure in atm of a 0.30M solution of glucose in water that is used for intravenous infusion at body temperature of 37ºC

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmotic pressure is 7.62 atm

Explanation:

Let's replace the data given to the osmotic pressure formula

π = ?

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

T = 37°C + 273 = 310K

M = 0.30 M

π = M . R. T → 0.30 M . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 310K = 7.62 atm
