QJEEM14Chef77: JEE Main 2014 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM14Chef77 Solution: Consider separate solutions of 0.500 M C 2 H 5 OH(aq), 0.100 M…

Consider separate solutions of 0.500 M C2H5OH(aq), 0.100 M Mg3(PO4)2(aq), 0.250 M KBr(aq) and 0.125 M Na3PO4(aq) at 25oC. Which statement is true about these solutions, assuming all salts to be strong electrolytes?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 0.125 M Na3PO4(aq) has the highest osmotic pressure.
  • B 0.500 M C2H5OH(aq) has the highest osmotic pressure
  • C They all have the same osmotic pressure
  • D 0.100 M Mg3(PO4)2(aq) has the highest osmotic pressure.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

π=iCRT

πC2H3OH

=1×0.500×R×T=0.5RT

πMg3(PO4)2

=5×0.100×R×T =0.5RT

πKBr=2×0.250×R×T=0.5RT

πNa3PO4=4×0.125×RT=0.5RT

Since the osmotic pressure of all the given solutions is equal.

Hence all are isotonic solution.
