Decreasing order of osmotic pressure for 0.01 M aqueous solutions of
barium chloride, potassium chloride, acetic acid and sucrose isBaCl2 KCl CH3COOH sucrose.EXPLAIN IN DETAIL .We have the formula for osmotic pressure as:
Where, i = van't hoff factor, M = molar concentration.
Since, M, R and T are constant for the three compounds so the value of osmotic pressure depends on "i".
Formula of i is given as
BaCl2 → Ba2+ + 2Cl-
KCl → K+ + Cl-
For BaCl2, i = 3(three ions)
For KCl, i = 2
Acetic acid does not dissociate completely. The value of "i" depend on the degree of dissociation. But "i" will be greater than 1.
Sucrose, C12H22O11 does not undergo dissociation / association. So, "i" will be 1.
Hence, the osmotic pressure in decreasing order as:
BaCl2> KCl>CH3COOH> C12H22O11
