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.
