MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution
Options
- A. The urea solution is hypertonic to sucrose solution.
- B. The osmotic pressure of urea solution is higher than that of sucrose solution.
- C. These solutions exhibit same osmotic pressure.
- D. The sucrose solution is hypotonic to urea solution.
Answer
C. These solutions exhibit same osmotic pressure.
Step-by-step solution
Osmotic pressure is given by = iCRT. For urea, i = 1 and C = 0.2\ M . For sucrose, i = 1 and C = 0.2\ M . Since both solutions have the same concentration and the same van 't Hoff factor, their osmotic pressures are equal at a given temperature. Therefore, these solutions exhibit the same osmotic pressure and are isotonic to each other. Answer: These solutions exhibit same osmotic pressure.
