If 1.02% of glycerin is isotonic with a 2% solution of glucose, calculate the molar mass of glycerin if that of glucose is 180g./mol

Options

  1. A93.0
  2. B91.8
  3. C90.2
  4. D96.4

Correct answer

B. 91.8

Step-by-step solution

For isotonic solutions, the osmotic pressures are equal, π1=π2\pi_1 = \pi_2.

Since both glycerin and glucose are non-electrolytes, their van't Hoff factors are i=1i = 1. Therefore, their molar concentrations are equal, C1=C2C_1 = C_2.

Let the molar mass of glycerin be MM. A 1.02%1.02\% solution of glycerin contains 1.02 g1.02 \text{ g} in 100 mL100 \text{ mL} of solution, and a 2%2\% solution of glucose contains 2 g2 \text{ g} in 100 mL100 \text{ mL} of solution.

Concentration of glycerin, C1=1.02M×0.1C_1 = \dfrac{1.02}{M \times 0.1}

Concentration of glucose, C2=2180×0.1C_2 = \dfrac{2}{180 \times 0.1}

Equating C1C_1 and C2C_2:

1.02M=2180\dfrac{1.02}{M} = \dfrac{2}{180}

M=1.02×1802M = \dfrac{1.02 \times 180}{2}

M=1.02×90=91.8 g/molM = 1.02 \times 90 = 91.8 \text{ g/mol}

Answer: 91.8
