Consider two solutions made using water as the solvent: 1.0 m cacl2 and 3.0 m sucrose. describe how the osmotic pressures of these two solutions compare. explain why this is true.

The osmotic pressures of the two solutions are the same.

Both solutions contain the same number of dissolved particles in the same quantity of the same solvent.

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.

Because it is a colligative property, osmotic pressure is influenced only by the number of dissolved particles, not by the identities of the particles.
