Question:

The correct expression for osmotic pressure of the solution involving dissociation of the solute is

Options:

$π=\frac{ic_2RT}{V}$

$π=ic_2RTV$

$π=\frac{n_2RT}{V}$

$π=\frac{in_2RT}{V}$

Correct Answer:

$π=\frac{in_2RT}{V}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $π=\frac{in_2RT}{V}$

For solutions involving dissociation of the solute, the osmotic pressure must include the van’t Hoff factor (i).

The correct formula is:

$\pi = i \frac{n_2 RT}{V}$​

where

  • $i$ = van’t Hoff factor
  • $n_2$​ = number of moles of solute
  • $R$ = gas constant
  • $T$ = absolute temperature
  • $V$ = volume of solution
