The mass of glucose that should be dissolved in 50 g of water in order to produce the same lowering of vapour pressure as is produced by dissolving 1 g of urea in the same quantity of water is: |
1 g 3 g 6g 18 g |
3 g |
The correct answer is option 2. 3 g. \(\left(\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}\right)_{glucose} = \left(\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}\right)_{urea}\) \( \frac{{1 \times 18}}{{50 \times 60}} = \frac{{w_2 \times 180}}{{50 \times 1}} \) Simplifying the equation, we find: \( w_2 = 3 \, \text{g} \) Therefore, the mass of glucose that should be dissolved in 50 g of water to produce the same lowering of vapor pressure as 1 g of urea is 3 g, which corresponds to option (2). |
