It concludes with practical examples, including calculating osmotic pressure for sugar solutions and determining the molar mass of proteins.

Takeaways

• 💧 The fourth colligative property discussed is osmotic pressure, which is the pressure needed to stop osmosis from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one.
• 🌱 The concept of osmosis is illustrated with examples like the shriveling of plant cells in saline solutions and the rehydration of dehydrated vegetables in water.
• 🔬 Osmotic pressure (P) is defined as the pressure required to prevent osmosis from occurring, and it is directly proportional to the molarity of the solute.
• 📚 The formula for calculating osmotic pressure (phi) for non-electrolytes is given by phi = m × R × T, where m is the molarity, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
• 🧪 For electrolyte solutions, the van't Hoff factor is considered in the osmotic pressure calculation, which accounts for the number of particles the electrolyte dissociates into.
• 🌡️ Temperature conversion is necessary when calculating osmotic pressure, as the temperature must be in Kelvin for the formula to be applicable.
• 🏥 Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as a reference solution, hypotonic solutions have lower osmotic pressure, and hypertonic solutions have higher osmotic pressure.

Q & A

What is osmosis and how is it related to the examples of raisins shrinking in saltwater and carrots becoming turgid in water?

Osmosis is the process where a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane from a solution of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration to achieve concentration equilibrium. The examples of raisins shrinking in saltwater and carrots becoming turgid in water illustrate osmosis, as water moves out of the raisins into the saltwater (due to the higher solute concentration in the saltwater) and into the carrots from the water (as the carrots are dehydrated and the water has a lower solute concentration).

What is meant by osmotic pressure and how is it calculated for a non-electrolyte solution?

Osmotic pressure (denoted by 'P') is the pressure that needs to be applied to prevent the osmotic flow of solvent from a pure solvent into a solution across a semipermeable membrane. For a non-electrolyte solution, the osmotic pressure can be calculated using the Van 't Hoff factor (i), which is 1 for non-electrolytes. The formula is P = nRT/V, where n is the number of moles of solute, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and V is the volume of the solution.

How does the osmotic pressure formula differ for electrolyte solutions compared to non-electrolyte solutions?

For electrolyte solutions, the osmotic pressure formula accounts for the Van 't Hoff factor (i), which represents the number of particles into which the electrolyte dissociates. The formula is P = nRT/V * i, where i is the Van 't Hoff factor. This factor is necessary because electrolytes dissociate into ions, effectively increasing the number of particles in solution and thus the osmotic pressure.

What is the relationship between osmotic pressure and the concentration of a solution?

The osmotic pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solute in the solution. As the concentration of the solute increases, the osmotic pressure also increases, as more solute particles exert a greater osmotic force.

What are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions, and how do they relate to osmotic pressure?

Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as a reference solution, hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure, and hypertonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure compared to the reference solution. These terms are used to describe the relative concentrations and osmotic properties of solutions, particularly in biological contexts such as cell suspensions.

How can the concept of osmotic pressure be applied in everyday life, such as in the use of salt to kill pests or in medical treatments?

Osmotic pressure is applied in various ways in everyday life: for example, using salt to draw water out of pests like slugs and snails, causing them to dehydrate and die; in medical treatments, isotonic solutions are used for intravenous infusions to prevent cell damage due to osmotic imbalances; and in contact lens solutions and eye drops to match the osmotic pressure of the eye's natural fluids, preventing discomfort.

What is the formula for calculating the osmotic pressure of a solution in terms of mass, molar mass, and volume?

The osmotic pressure of a solution can be calculated using the formula P = (mass of solute / molar mass) * 1000 / volume * R * T, where P is the osmotic pressure, the mass of solute and molar mass are in grams, volume is in liters, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

How does the temperature affect the osmotic pressure of a solution?

The temperature affects the osmotic pressure of a solution because the gas constant (R) in the osmotic pressure formula is temperature-dependent. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, leading to a higher osmotic pressure for a given concentration of solute.

What is the significance of the Van 't Hoff factor in the context of osmotic pressure?

The Van 't Hoff factor is significant because it accounts for the actual number of particles in solution that contribute to osmotic pressure. For electrolytes, this factor is greater than 1 because they dissociate into ions, increasing the effective concentration of particles and thus the osmotic pressure.

How can you determine if two solutions are isotonic based on their osmotic pressures?

Two solutions are isotonic if they have the same osmotic pressure. This can be determined by comparing the calculated osmotic pressures of the two solutions using their respective solute concentrations, molar masses, volumes, and temperatures.
