[SOLVED] Osmotic Pressure & Mass Percent
A solid mixture of KCL, KNO3, and Ba(NO3)2 is 20.92 mass percent chlorine, and a 1.000g sample of the mixture in 500.0 mL of aqueous solution at 25 C has an osmotic pressure of 744.7 mm Hg. What are the mass percents of KCl, KNO3, and Ba(NO3)2 in the mixture?
First I started out using osmotic pressure equation after I converted 744.7 mm Hg to atm.
.9799atm=7x(.08206 L*atm*K[tex]^{-1}[/tex]*mol[tex]^{-1}[/tex])(298K)
x=.0057 mol of ions/liter (I chose 7x because it appears there would be 7 ions, assuming they'd all dissociate completely)
Here however is where I'm stuck already. Any advice on where to go from here?
