A solution containing 10 g per (\mathrm{dm}^3) of urea (molecular mass (=60 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})) is isotonic with a (5 \%) solution of a nonvolatile solute. The molecular mass of this nonvolatile solution is:
Options
- A(250 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})
- B(300 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})
- C(350 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})
- D(200 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})
Correct answer
C. (350 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})
Step-by-step solution
The molar concentration of urea solution
=\frac{10 g / d m^3}{\text{ Mol. wt. of urea }}=\frac{10}{60} \mathrm{M}=\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{M}Molar concentration of nonvolatile solute
Both solutions are isotonic to each other;
therefore,
m=50 6=300 Caution
per of urea is isotonic with solution of a non-volatile solute. Hence, osmosis cannot occur between the two solutions. Thus, their molar concentrations are equal to each other.
