The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The expression for the osmotic pressure of the solution is shown below.
$\pi= CRT =\frac{ W }{ M \times V } RT$
Here, $\pi$ is the osmotic pressure,
$C$ is the molar concentration,
$W$ is mass of solute,
$M$ is the molar mass of solute,
$V$ is the volume of the solution in liter,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant and
$T$ is the absolute temperature.
$\pi=\frac{34.2 \,g }{342\, g / mol } \times 0.082\, L \,atm / mol \,K \times 293 \,K$
$\pi=2.40 \,atm$
The osmotic pressure of the solution is $2.40$ atm.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
