π = C R T$\pi = C R T$
where π$\pi$ is osmotic pressure, C$C$ is molar concentration, R$R$ is gas constant, and T$T$ is absolute temperature.
Core Logic
For a given dilute solution, the concentration (C$C$) and the gas constant (R$R$) are constant. Therefore, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
π ∝ T$\pi \propto T$
(π₁)/(T₁) = (π₂)/(T₂)$$\frac{\pi_1}{T_1} = \frac{\pi_2}{T_2}$$
Step 1: Calculation
Given values:
π₁ = 7 × 10⁵ Pa = 70 × 10⁴ Nm⁻²$\pi_1 = 7 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} = 70 \times 10^4 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$
T₁ = 273 K$T_1 = 273 \text{ K}$
T₂ = 283 K$T_2 = 283 \text{ K}$
Rearranging for π₂$\pi_2$:
π₂ = (π₁ · T₂)/(T₁)$$\pi_2 = \frac{\pi_1 \cdot T_2}{T_1}$$
π₂ = (7 × 10⁵ × 283)/(273)$$\pi_2 = \frac{7 \times 10^5 \times 283}{273}$$
π₂ = (1981 × 10⁵)/(273)$$\pi_2 = \frac{1981 \times 10^5}{273}$$
π₂ = 7.2564 × 10⁵ Pa$$\pi_2 = 7.2564 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa}$$
Converting to the requested format (× 10⁴ Nm⁻²$\times 10^4 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$):
π₂ = 72.564 × 10⁴ Nm⁻²$$\pi_2 = 72.564 \times 10^4 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$$
Rounding off yields 72.56 (or 73 depending on required decimal places).
