    Osmotic pressure is calculated by multiplying the molarity, temperature and the universal gas constant. It is expressed as:

    P = iMRT

    Say the temperature for both solutions is 373.15 K.

    P (NaCl) = 2 x 0.10 x 0.08206 x 373.15 = 3.06 atm

    P (KBr) = 2 x 0.10 x 0.08206 x 373.15 = 3.06 atm

    They will have the same osmotic pressure since they have the same concentration, dissociate into 2 ions and at the same temperature.
