Question:

What is the relation between osmotic pressure of 5% aqueous solution of glucose (P1) to that of 5% aqueous solution of urea (P2)?

Options:

P1 = P2

P1 < P2

P1 > P2

P1 = \(\frac{P_2}{2}\)

Correct Answer:

P1 < P2

Explanation:

Greater the molar concentration, greater is the osmotic pressure.

No of moles is directly proportional to the molar concentration at constant volume.

No of moles of glucose = \(\frac{5}{180}\)

No of moles of urea = \(\frac{5}{60}\)

Hence, P1 < P2
