The osmotic pressure of a 0.010 M MgSO₄ solution at 25^$\circ$C is 0.318 atm. Calculate i, the van't Hoff factor, for this MgSO₄ solution. A) 0.013 B) 1.3 C) 1.5 D) 2.0 E) 76.8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The van't Hoff factor (i) is calculated using the formula for osmotic pressure: π = iMRT. Given π = 0.318 atm, M = 0.010 M, R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K, and T = 298 K, solving for i gives i ≈ 1.3.
