JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

Assume a living cell with \(0.9 \%(\omega / \omega)\) of glucose solution (aqueous). This cell is immersed in another solution having equal mole fraction of glucose and water.
(Consider the data upto first decimal place only)
The cell will :

  1. A show no change in volume since solution is \(0.9 \%(\omega / \omega)\)
  2. B shrink since solution is \(0.5 \%(\omega / \omega)\)
  3. C swell up since solution is \(1 \%(\omega / \omega)\)
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of these

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Living cell \(=0.9 \mathrm{gm}\) in 100 gm of solution \(\% \mathrm{w} / \mathrm{w}=0.9\) Solution is have equal moles of glucose and water \(=0.5\) Weight of solution \(=0.5 \times 180+0.5 \times 18=99 \mathrm{gm}\) \(\% \mathrm{w} / \mathrm{w} \simeq 90 \%\) Concentrated…
