Question:

What is the order of osmotic pressure of equimolar solution of BaCl₂, NaCl and glucose?

Options:

Glucose>NaCl>BaCl₂

BaCl₂ > NaCl > Glucose

NaCl > BaCl₂ > glucose

NaCl > Glucose > BaCl₂

Correct Answer:

BaCl₂ > NaCl > Glucose

Explanation:

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property, and more the number of particles more the osmotic pressure.

π = i C R T

Hence,

B a C l_{2} > N a C l > G l u c o s e

since the concentration is same and

i

for

B a C l_{2}

is 3,

N a C l

is 2 and glucose is 1.
