Why is osmotic pressure considered as colligative property?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The osmotic presssure is equivalent to pressure required to stop the entry of water into the solution when it is separated from pure solvent by a semi-permeable membrane.

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) :
