Discuss the significances of osmotic-pressure over other colligative properties.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Unlike elevation of boiling point ( for 1 molal solution the elevation in boiling point is ` 0.512^(@) C ` for water ) and the depression in freezing point ( for 1 molal solution the depression in freezing point is ` 1.86 ^(@) C ` for water ) , the magnitude of osmotic pressure is large
The osmotic pressure can be measured at room temperature enables to determine the molecular mass of biomolecules which are unstable at higher temperature .
Even for a very dilute solution , the osmotic pressure is large.
