Chemistry Question on Solutions
0.06%(w/v) aqueous solution of urea is isotonic with
A
0.06% glucose solution
B
0.6% glucose solution
C
0.01 M glucose solution
D
0.1 M glucose solution
Answer
0.01 M glucose solution
Explanation
Solution
0.06%(w/V) aqueous solution of urea =1000.06
=6×10−4g
This means that 6×10−4g of urea is present in 1L of solution.
Molecular mass of urea
Molarity of urea solution
=M× volume (mL)w×1000
=100×600.06×1000=0.01M
∴0.01M glucose solution is isotonic with 0.06% (w/V) solution of urea.
