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.
Determine the Molarity of a solution containing 4g of NaOH in 1L solution

  1. A 4M
  2. B 100M
  3. C 0.1M
  4. D 0.4M
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.1M

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Molar \ mass \ of \ NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 \ g/mol\) \(Moles \ of \ NaOH = \frac{4 \ g}{40 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol\) \(Molarity = \frac{Moles \ of \ solute}{Volume \ of \ solution \ (L)} = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{1 \ L} = 0.1 \ M\)
