Solution
The correct option is B0.95,1.95 The molar masses of NaCl and glucose are 58.5 g/mol and 180 g/mol respectively.
The expression for the osmotic pressure is as follows: Π=iCRT Since two solutions are isotonic, they have equal osmotic pressure. Π(NaCl)=Π(glucose) i(NaCl)C(NaCl)=i(glucose)C(glucose) i(NaCl)×1.258.5=1×7.2180i(NaCl)=1.95 Let α be the degree of ionization of NaCl. α=i−1n′−1=1.95−12−1=0.95 Here, n′ represents the total number of ions produced by dissociation of one molecule of NaCl.
