MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

40 gram nonelectrolyte solute having molar mass 180\ g mol ^ -1 dissolved in water has osmotic pressure 2\ atm at 300\ K . Calculate the volume of solution. ( R = 0.0821\ atm mol ^ -1 K ^ -1 )

Options

  1. A. 2.10\ dm ^3
  2. B. 2.34\ dm ^3
  3. C. 2.74\ dm ^3
  4. D. 3.40\ dm ^3

Answer

C. 2.74\ dm ^3

Step-by-step solution

Using the formula for osmotic pressure: = n V RT Rearranging for volume V: V = nRT Number of moles of solute n = 40 180 = 2 9 \ mol Substituting the given values: V = 2 9 0.0821 300 2 V = 24.63 9 V = 2.736\ L Since 1\ L = 1\ dm ^3, the volume of the solution is 2.74\ dm ^3. Answer: 2.74\ dm ^3
