The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 12.23 grams of the compound were dissolved to make 228.1 mL of a benzene solution, the osmotic pressure generated was 4.55 atm at 298 K. The compound was also found to be non-volatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?
Answer:
287.76 g/mol
Explanation:
From;
π = M R T
M = molarity
R= gas constant
T = temperature
number of moles = π * volume/RT
number of moles = 4.55 * 228.1/1000/0.082 * 298
number of moles = 1.037855/24.436
number of moles = 0.0425 moles
Molar mass = mass/number of moles
Molar mass = 12.23 grams/0.0425 moles
Molar mass = 287.76 g/mol
