Solution
The correct option is C solution A is greater than B MgCl2⇌Mg2++2Cl−i.e.1+2=3 particles NaCl⇋Na++Cl−i.e.1+1=2 particles Osmotic pressure is a colligative property which depends upon the number of particles. The number of particles in MgCl2 being more than that in NaCl, MgCl2 solution will have higher osmotic pressure.
