Na3po4 dissolves in water to produce an electrolytic solution. what is the osmolarity of a 2. 0 × 10-3 m na3po4 solution?

Sagot :

When Na3po4 dissolves in water to produce an electrolytic solution. The osmolarity of a 2. 0 × 10-3 m Na3po4 solution is 0.008osmol/L.

Osmolarity is defined as the number of osmoles of solute particles per unit volume of the solution.

In other words osmolarity is the multiple if molarity

Osmolarity = i× molarity

Here i represents the van't Hoff factor,

[tex]Na_{3}PO_{4}[/tex][tex]3Na^{+} + PO_{4} ^{-}[/tex]

3  Moles of [tex]Na_{} ^{+}[/tex] + 1 mole [tex]PO_{4} ^{-}[/tex] = 4

The number of moles of particles of solute produced in solution are actually called osmoles.

As a result, the van't Hoff factor will be equal to

i=4 Moles ions produced (osmoles) 1mole [tex]Na_{3} PO_{4}[/tex] .dissolved =4

Since we know that,

[tex]Na_{3} PO_{4}[/tex] = [tex]2.0 * 10^{-3} M[/tex]

Osmolarity =

[tex]4*2.0*10^{-3} M[/tex] = [tex]8.0 * 10^{-3} osmol L -10s[/tex]

Thus, the Osmolarity of given solution is 0.008 osmol/L.
