The osmotic pressure of 0.01 M aqueous solution of urea at 300 K is (R = 0.082 lit atm mol-1)

  • A.0.0082 atm
  • B.0.082 atm
  • C.2.46 atm
  • D.24.6 atm
  • E.0.246 atm

Answer: E

The osmotic pressure is 0.246 atm.

Urea does not ionise, so van 't Hoff's equation applies directly, \(\pi = CRT\), with R in L atm K-1 mol-1:

\[ \pi = 0.01 \times 0.082 \times 300 = 0.246\ \text{atm} \]

The value of R is printed with its kelvin unit missing, but 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1 is the standard value. 2.46 and 24.6 atm are ten and a hundred times too large, as if the solution were 0.1 M or 1 M, and 0.0082 and 0.082 atm do not include the factor of 300 K.
