Question

why is osmotic pressure of 1M NACL higher than 1M glucose solution?

Open in App
Solution

osmotic pressure is a colligative property and depends on the number of solute particles in solution.
NaCl dissociates into two ions while glucose being covalent does not.
So, number of particles in 1M NaCl will be twice as much as in 1M glucose.
