Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion In case of KCl we have,
π=iCRT, i=2
and in case of glucose, we have
π=iCRT,i=1
Hence, KCl solution has greater osmotic pressure because KCl is dissociates to produce number of particles(i =2).
Osmotic pressure in KCl solution increase due to dissociation.
