Calculate the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 65.0 g of Na2SO4 in enough water to make 500 mL of solution at 20°C. (Assume no ion pairing – in other words, assume that the electrolyte completely dissociates into its constituent ions.)

66.0 atm

Explanation:

We can calculate the osmotic pressure (π) using the following expression.

where,

Step 1: Calculate i

Sodium sulfate completely dissociates according to the following equation.

Na₂SO₄ ⇒ 2 Na⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Since it produces 3 ions, i = 3.

Step 2: Calculate M

We can calculate the molarity of Na₂SO₄ using the following expression.

Step 3: Calculate T

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 20°C + 273.15 = 293 K

Step 4: Calculate π

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
