What is the osmotic pressure of a 0.300 M blood plasma sample at 37.0 $\degree$C? Assume a van't Hoff factor of 1.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the osmotic pressure ($\Pi$) of a solution, you can use the formula $\Pi = iMRT$, where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor, $M$ is the molarity of the solution, $R$ is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/K·mol), and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin. Given that the van't Hoff factor ($i$) is 1, the molarity ($M$) is 0.300 M, and the temperature is 37.0°C, which needs to be converted to Kelvin (37.0 + 273.15 = 310.15 K), you can substitute these values into the formula:$\Pi = (1)(0.300)(0.0821)(310.15) = 7.64$ atm.
