AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Chemistry Colligative Properties MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A solution containing 10g per dm³ of urea (molecular mass = 60g mol⁻¹) is isotonic with a 5% solution of a non-volatile solute. The molecular mass of this non-volatile solute is:
A
200 g mol⁻¹
B
300 g mol⁻¹
C
400 g mol⁻¹
D
500 g mol⁻¹
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure. Using the formula for osmotic pressure and given concentrations, the molecular mass of the non-volatile solute can be calculated to be 400 g mol⁻¹.
