QuestionSolutions / osmotic pressure

A 1% aqueous solution (mass by volume) of a certain substance is isotonic with a 3% solution of glucose (Molar mass = 180 g mol⁻¹) at a given temperature. The molar mass of the substance (in kg mol⁻¹) will be:

  1. (a) 0.60
  2. (b) 180
  3. (c) 0.18
  4. (d) 0.06

Answer: (d) 0.06

Isotonic → equal molar concentrations (non-electrolytes). 1 g/100 mL ÷ M = 3 g/100 mL ÷ 180 → M = 60 g mol⁻¹ = 0.06 kg mol⁻¹ → (d). Trap: answer asked in kg mol⁻¹.
