A solution is prepared by dissolving 0⋅6 g of urea (molar mass =60 g mol−1) and 1⋅8 g glucose (molar mass =180 g mol−1 in 100 mL of water at 27∘C. The osmotic pressure of the solution is:
(R=0⋅08206 L atm K−1 mol−1)
4⋅92 atm
1⋅64 atm
2⋅46 atm
8⋅2 atm
Solution
The pressure applied to a pure solvent so that it does not pass into the given solution by osmosis is known as the osmotic pressure. When two different solutions are mixed, the osmotic pressure of the final solution is calculated using the formula,
π=Vn1+n2×RT
Where, π is the osmotic pressure,
n1 is the number of moles solute 1,
n2 is the number of moles of solute 2,
V is the volume of the final solution in liters,
R is the universal gas constant,
T is the temperature in kelvin.
Complete step by step answer:
Step 1:
Convert the units of temperature from ∘C to K using the relation as follows:
T(K)=T∘C+273
Substitute 27∘C for the temperature in ∘C. Thus,
T(K)=27∘C+273
T(K)=300 K
Thus, the temperature is 300 K.
Step 2:
Convert the units of volume from mL to L using the relation as follows:
1 mL=1×10−3 L
Thus,
V=100 mL×1 mL1×10−3 L=0⋅1 L
Thus, the volume is 0⋅1 L
Step 3:
Calculate the number of moles of urea using the formula as follows:
Number of moles of urea(n1)=Molar mass of urea(g mol−1)Mass of urea(g)
Substitute 0⋅6 g for the mass of urea, 60 g mol−1 for the molar mass of urea. Thus,
Number of moles of urea(n1)=60 g mol−10⋅6 g=0⋅01 mol
Thus, the number of moles of urea are 0⋅01 mol.
Step 4:
Calculate the number of moles of glucose using the formula as follows:
Number of moles of glucose(n2)=Molar mass of glucose(g mol−1)Mass of glucose(g)
Substitute 1⋅8 g for the mass of glucose, 180 g mol−1 for the molar mass of glucose. Thus,
Number of moles of glucose(n2)=180 g mol−11⋅8 g=0⋅01 mol
Thus, the number of moles of glucose are 0⋅01 mol.
Step 5:
Calculate the osmotic pressure of the final solution using the formula as follows:
π=Vn1+n2×RT
Substitute 0.01 mol for the number of moles of urea, 0⋅01 mol for the number of moles of glucose, 0⋅1 L for the volume of the final solution, 0⋅08206 L atm K−1 mol−1 for the universal gas constant, 300 K for the temperature. Thus,
π=0⋅1 L0⋅01 mol+0⋅01 mol×0⋅08206 L atm K−1 mol−1×300 K
π=0⋅1 L0⋅02 mol×0⋅08206 L atm K−1 mol−1×300 K
π=4⋅92 atm
Thus, the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 0⋅6 g of urea (molar mass =60 g mol−1) and 1⋅8 g glucose (molar mass =180 g mol−1 in 100 mL of water at 27∘C is 4⋅92 atm.
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.
Note:
Do not use the temperature value in ∘C. Convert the temperature from∘C to K using the relation that 0∘C=274 K. Calculate the number of moles of each solute using the relation that the number of moles is the ratio of mass to molar mass. As two solutes are mixed to form one solution, the molar concentration of the final solution depends on both the solutes.
