Mass of K2SO4, w = 25 mg = 0.025g (use 1 g = 1000 mg ) Volume V = 2 liter T = 25 + 273 = 298 K The reaction of dissociation of K2SO4 K2SO4 → 2K+ + SO42- Number if ions produced = 2+ 1 = 3 So van’t Hoff factor i = 3 Now
Substituting the values and calculationg we get, π= 5.27 × 10-3 atm

Given, that mass of K2SO4, w=25 mg=0.025 g
Volume V=2 L
T=25+273 =298 K
The reaction of dissociation of K2SO4 is,
K2SO4→2K++SO42−
Number of ions produced=3=van't Hoff factor
Hence, π=iCRT
⟹π=3×1740.025×0.5×0.0821×298=5.27×10−3atm
