Is this a water solution? If not ignore what follows.
pi = MRT. Substitute and solve for molarity, then assume the molality is the same. (Remember to convert kPa to atmospheres.)
Then delta T = Kf*m
Solve for delta T and
the problem does not specify what the liquid is. that is part of my not understanding.
help anyone?
Wikipedia defines osmotic pressure as follows:
Osmotic pressure is the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane.[1]
Defined in this manner I assume it is water we are talking about as the solvent.
