Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.47

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The osmotic pressure formula is given by \(\pi = iCRT\), where \(i\) is the van't Hoff factor, \(C\) is the molar concentration, \(R\) is the gas constant, and \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin. Given values: Mass of \(\text{CaCl}_{2} = 3.42 \text{ g}\) Molar mass of…
