Osmotic pressure measurements are less accurate and difficult to carry out. Therefore, this method is not useful for measuring molecular weights. But it is used to find out molecular weights of polymers eg. plastics, proteins and starch having many monomer units. Knowing the value of osmotic pressure of a given solution, molecular weight of the solute can be calculated using Van't Hoff equation.
When osmatic pressure and temperature for two solutions are same, equal volumes of solutions would contain same number of:

  1. A Moles of solute
  2. B Moles of solvent
  3. C Moles of solution
  4. D Molecules of solutions

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Moles of solute

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Pi = iCRT \) Given \( \Pi_1 = \Pi_2 \) and \( T_1 = T_2 \), it implies \( i_1C_1 = i_2C_2 \). For comparable solutions, \( C_1 = C_2 \). Since \( C = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution}} \), if \( C_1 = C_2 \) and \( V_1 = V_2 \), then…
