Solution

The correct option is B 0.95,1.95
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=i1n1=1.95121=0.95
Here, n represents the total number of ions produced by dissociation of one molecule of NaCl.
