An experiment was performed to determine the hydration of chickpeas in a salt solution. Two experimental conditions were run: 1) room temperature (25.0 oC) with salt concentration of 1.5 M NaCl and 2) 85.0 oC with a salt concentration of 1.5 M NaCl. Determine the osmotic pressure for each of the conditions. Do you calculated answers make sense? Explain.
1. = CRT
T = 25C = 25 + 273 = 298K
R = 0.0821L-atm/mole-K
C = 1.5 M
= 1.5*0.0821*298 = 36.7atm
2. = CRT
T = 85C = 85 + 273 = 358K
R = 0.0821L-atm/mole-K
C = 1.5 M
= 1.5*0.0821*358 = 40.1atm
