Question:

The osmotic pressure of a particular solution is \(8\) atm at \(298\) K. What will be the osmotic pressure under similar conditions at \(313\) K?

Show Hint

At constant concentration, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Van 't Hoff equation: \(\pi = CRT\).
For the same solution \(\pi \propto T\).

Step 2: Set Up
\(\dfrac{\pi_2}{\pi_1} = \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\)

Step 3: Calculation
\(\pi_2 = 8 \times \dfrac{313}{298} = 8.40\ \text{atm}\)

Final Answer:
The osmotic pressure at 313 K is 8.40 atm. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }8.40\ \text{atm}} \]
