A solution of \(\mathrm{KCl}(\mathrm{M}=74.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1})\) containing \(1.9 \mathrm{~g}\) per \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) is isotonic with a solution of urea \((\mathrm{M}=60.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)) containing \(3 \mathrm{~g}\) per \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) of urea. The degree of dissociation of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) is:
[Assume both the solutions are kept at same temperature]

  1. A 0.98
  2. B 0.99
  3. C 0.96
  4. D 0.9
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.96

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For two isotonic solutions at the same temperature, the osmotic pressures are equal, which implies their molar concentrations are equal when accounting for the van't Hoff factor \(i\). The molar concentration of the KCl solution is…
