Hey guys, I’ve got a problem with the following question regarding mixing a strong base and a strong acid, the osmotic pressure needs to be calculated:
7.41 g of calcium hydroxide and 7.29 g of hydrogen chloride are dissolved in a 1 L of water solution at 25 degrees C. Calculate the osmotic pressure of the final solution
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate that :)
