If a solution is prepared by dissolving solute in 0.3 L of water having osmotic pressure 164.1 atm at 300 K, what will be the number of moles of solute in solution? (R = 0.08205 L atm K ⁻¹ mol ⁻¹ )

Step-by-step solution

Using the formula for osmotic pressure: = n V R T Rearranging for the number of moles n : n = V R T Substituting the given values: n = 164.1 0.3 0.08205 300 n = 49.23 24.615 n = 2.0 Answer: 2.0
