Answer

$34.2atm$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the required osmotic pressure as follows: $M=(\frac{28.5g\space Mg_3(C_6H_5O_7)_2}{235.0\times 10^{-3}Lsoln})(\frac{1molMg_3(C_6H_5O_7)_2}{451.114g\space Mg_3(C_6H_5O_7)_2})=0.26884M$ Now $\pi=MRTi$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\pi=(\frac{0.26884mol}{L})(\frac{0.08206L.atm}{mol.K})(310.15K)(5)$ $\pi=34.2atm$
