Practice: The osmotic pressure of blood is 5950.8 mmHg at 41ºC. What mass of glucose, C6H12O6, is needed to prepare 5.51 L of solution. The osmotic pressure of the glucose solution is equal to the osmotic pressure of blood.
Osmotic Pressure is the force that drives Osmosis from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Concept #1: Osmotic Pressure Formula
Example #1: Calculate the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 18.30 mg of ZnO in 15.1 mL of solution at 26ºC.
Practice: The osmotic pressure of blood is 5950.8 mmHg at 41ºC. What mass of glucose, C6H12O6, is needed to prepare 5.51 L of solution. The osmotic pressure of the glucose solution is equal to the osmotic pressure of blood.
Practice: The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 7.0 g of insulin per liter is 23 torr at 25ºC. What is the molar mass of insulin? (1 atm = 760 torr)
