Why is osmotic pressure considered as colligative property?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Colligative Property**: - A colligative property is a property of a solution that depends on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent, rather than the identity of the solute. 2. **Understanding Osmotic Pressure**: - Osmotic pressure (π) is the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent into a solution through a semipermeable membrane. It is a measure of the tendency of a solvent to move into a solution. ...

What is osmotic pressure?

What is osmotic pressure ? Why it is a colligative property ?

(a) Define the terms osmosis and osmotic pressure. Is the osmotic pressure of a solution a colligative property? Explain. (b) Calculate the boiling point of a solution prepared by adding 15.00g of NaCl to 250.0g of water. ( K_(b) for water =0.512K kg "mol"^(-1) , Molar mass of NaCl=58.44g )

Which one is a colligative property

van't Hoff proved that osmotic pressure ( pi ) is a colligative property. For an ideal solution, osmotic pressure( pi ) is helpful to determine that molecular mass of solute using M_(B)=(W_(B)RT)/(pi.V) Relation can exxpressed by the curve (C = concentration) :

Statement 1: Mbar(n) (number -average molecular mass) of a polymer is determined by osmotic pressure method,while Mbar(w) (weight -average molecular mass)is determined by ultracentrifuge method. Statement 2:Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.

Each question contains STATEMENT-I(Assertion) and STATEMENT-2(Reason).the statement carefully and mark the correct answer accoring to the instrution given below: STATEMENT - 1 : Osmotic pressure is a colligative property. STATEMENT - 2 : Osmotic pressure is developed in a column due to osmosis.
