mol/L
Enter solute molarity in mol/L.
K
Enter temperature in K.
Enter van ’t hoff factor.

Formula

Π=i c RT; c in mol/L is multiplied by 1000 for SI pressure.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Dilute ideal solution separated by a semipermeable membrane; not a clinical tonicity model.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Solute molarity: 0.1 mol/L
  • Temperature: 300 K
  • van ’t Hoff factor: 1

0.1 mol/L at 300 K with i=1 gives about 249.434 kPa.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter solute molarity, temperature, van ’t hoff factor. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

Π=i c RT; c in mol/L is multiplied by 1000 for SI pressure.. Dilute ideal solution separated by a semipermeable membrane; not a clinical tonicity model.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
