A dilute solution of an ionic compound \(\mathrm{A}_3 \mathrm{~B}\) has an Osmotic pressure which is 6 times that of \(0.02 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{MgCl}_2\). What is the molar concentration of \(\mathrm{A}_3 \mathrm{~B}\) assuming that it undergoes complete dissociation in water?

  1. A 0.12 M
  2. B 0.09 M
  3. C 0.03 M
  4. D 0.26 M
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.09 M

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The osmotic pressure \(\Pi\) is given by the formula \(\Pi = iCRT\), where \(i\) is the van't Hoff factor, \(C\) is the molar concentration, \(R\) is the gas constant, and \(T\) is the temperature. For \(\mathrm{MgCl}_2\), which dissociates as…
