Solution of 12 g of non - electrolyte (A) prepared by dissolving it in 1000 mL of water exerts the same osmotic pressure as that of 0.05 M glucose solution at the same temperature. The empirical formula of A is . The molecular mass of A is ______ g. (Nearest integer)
Answer: 240
Solution
Isotonic solutions exert the same osmotic pressure and so have equal molar concentrations; the concentration of A therefore equals that of the glucose solution, . With dissolved to make one litre of solution, the molar mass is the mass divided by the number of moles, . Evaluating this gives the molecular mass of A as .
