Solution
The correct option is C54.0g The osmotic pressure is given by Π=CRT Here, C is the molar concentration, R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L atm / mol . K) and T is the absolute temperature.
Now,
7.65=C×0.08206×(273+37) ∴C=0.3M
⇒1L of the solution will contain 0.3 moles of glucose. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol.
