Solutions \(A, B, C\) and \(D\) are respectively \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) glucose, \(0.05 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}, 0.05 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\) and \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\)
\(\mathrm{AlCl}_{3} .\) Which one of the following pairs is isotonic?

  1. A \(A\) and \(B\)
  2. B \(B\) and \(C\)
  3. C \(A\) and \(D\)
  4. D \(A\) and \(C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(A\) and \(B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isotonic solutions have same molar concentration of solute particles in solution. Molar concentration of particles in solution are \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) in glucose, \(2 \times 0.05 \mathrm{M}\) in \(\mathrm{NaCl}, 3 \times 0.05\) in
\(\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\) and \(4 \times 0.1\) in \(\mathrm{AlCl}_{3} .\) Therefore, \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\)
glucose and \(0.05\) M NaCl solutions are isotonic.
