MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Calculate the mass of nonvolatile solute dissolved in 0.3 dm^3 water having osmotic pressure 0.1 atm at 300K. [Molar mass of solute = 328 g mol^ -1 , R = 0.082 dm^3atm K^ -1 mol^ -1 ]

Options

  1. A. 0.4 g
  2. B. 0.6 g
  3. C. 0.8 g
  4. D. 1.0 g

Answer

A. 0.4 g

Step-by-step solution

The osmotic pressure is given by the formula: = W M V R T Rearranging for the mass of the solute W: W = M V R T Substituting the given values: W = 0.1 328 0.3 0.082 300 W = 9.84 24.6 W = 0.4 g Answer: 0.4 g
