You are asked to calculate osmotic pressure for a solution containing an ionic solute.
You are given the mass of solute in the solution, the volume of the solution, the temperature of the solution, and the van’t Hoff factor for the ionic solute.

0.249 g CaCl $_{2}\times \frac{1\text{ mol CaCl}_{2}}{111.0 \text{ g}}$ = 0.002244 mol CaCl $_{2}$

$\frac{0.002244 \text{ mol CaCl}_{2}}{0.151 \text{ L}}$ = 0.0146 M

$Π$ = cRTi = (0.0149 M)(0.082057 L · atm/K · mol)(298 K)(2.8) = 1.0 atm
