the relation between the values of osmotic pressure of 0.1M solution of KNO3(P1) and CH3COOH(P2) is

1) P1 P2

2) P2 P1

Osmotic pressure (P) =i CRTwherei= van't Hoff factori =1+(n-1)aa= degree of dissociationn= no. of species into which it dissociates

Since KNO3 is a strong electrolyte and CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte
Therefore
i for KNO3 is > ​i for CH3COOH

Degree of dissociation i.e a = 1 For KNO3 whereas it is less than 1 (<1) for CH3COOH.

No. of species dissociated (n) = 2 for both.

therefore

P1> P2
