Question

a) A solution containing 18g of non-volatile non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in 200 g of water freezes at 272.07 K. Calculate the molecular mass of the solute.
Given : Kf=1.86 K kg/mol.
The freezing point of water = 273 K.

b) Define the isotonic solution. What happens when the blood cell is dipped in a solution containing more than normal saline concentration?

Solution

a)
M2=1000×Kf×W2ΔTf×W1
M2=1000×1.86×18(273272.07)×200

M2=180 g/mol
b)
Isotonic solutions: Two or more solutions exerting the same osmotic pressure are called isotonic solutions. 0.05 M urea solution is isotonic with 0.05 M sucrose solution as both have the same osmotic pressure.
When the blood cell is dipped in a solution containing more than normal saline concentration, it loses water due to osmosis and collapses.
