Question

Consider separate solutions of 0.500 M C2H5OH(aq), 0.100 M Mg3(PO4)2 (aq), 0.250 M KBr(aq) and 0.125 M Na3PO4(aq) at 25C. Which statement is true about these solutions, assuming all salts to be strong electrolytes?

A

Solution

The correct option is C They all have the same osmotic pressure.
For C2H5OH,π=1×0.5×RT=0.5RT
For KBr,π=2×0.25×RT=0.5RT
For Mg3(PO4)2,π=5×0.1×RT=0.5RT
For Na3PO4,π=4×0.125×RT=0.5RT
So, all are isotonic solutions.
