Human blood has a molar concentration of solutes of 0.30 M. What is the osmotic pressure of blood at 25$\degree$C?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The osmotic pressure can be calculated using the formula $\pi = iMRT$, where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor (assumed to be 1 for blood), $M$ is the molarity (0.30 M), $R$ is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K), and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K). Calculating gives $\pi = 1 \times 0.30 \times 0.0821 \times 298 = 7.3$ atm.
