Question
What is Osmosis? What is Osmotic Pressure? Derive it's formula.

Answer

$\rightarrow$ If semi permeable membrane is placed between the solvent and solution as shown fig. the solvent molecules will flow through the membrane from pure solvent to the solution.
This process of flow of the solvent is called osmosis.
Image
$\rightarrow$ The flow will continue till the equilibrium is attained
$\rightarrow$ The flow of the solvent from its side to solution side across a semipermeable membrane can be stopped if some extra pressure is applied on the solution.
This pressure that just stops the flow of solvent is called osmotic pressure of the solution.
Image
$\rightarrow$ The osmotic pressure of a solution is the excess pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent osmosis,
$\rightarrow$ Osmotic pressure is a colligative property as it depends on the number of solute molecules and not on their identity.
$\rightarrow$ osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity$, C$ of the solution at a given temperature $T$.
$\pi=\text { CRT }$
Where, $\pi=$ Osmotic pressure
$R =$ gas constant
$ \therefore \pi =\frac{n_2 R T}{V} \ \left(\because C=\frac{n_2}{V}\right)$
$\pi =\frac{W_2 R T}{M_2 V}$
$ W _2= Wt . \text { of Solute }$
$M _2=$ Molar mass of Solute 
$V =$ Volume of Solution $(L)$
$T =$ Temperature

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The solutions which boil at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess the same composition in liquid, as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azeotropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope.
