Solutions Question 386

Question: A 5% solution of cane sugar (molar mass 342) is isotonic with 1% of a solution of an unknown solute. The molar mass of unknown solute in g /mol is

Options:

A) 136.2

B) 171.2

C) 68.4

D) 34.2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Two solutions are isotonic if their osmotic pressure are equal π1=π2 M1ST1=M2ST2 ( M1 and M2 are molarities)

At a given temperature, M1=M2 1000,w1m1v1Conesugar,=1000,w2m2v2Unknown,

(V1=V2,100,mL)
