Question

Questions-Which of these solutions will have the highest osmotic pressure? 0.2 M BgBr2; 0.3 M C6H12O6 (glucose); 0.2M NaCl; 0.3 M ethanoic acid.

1b)What type of question is this?

1c) How do I know that it is this type of question?

1d) What information are you looking for?

1e) What information is given?

1f) How will I go about solving this?

1g) Solve step-by-step

Thank you in advance, just confused on how to answer.

Answer 1

Osmotic pressure = iCRT

where i is the vant hoff's factor

b) the question is asking for the highest osmotic pressure amongst these solutions , which is dependent on various factors such as i , C , and T ( R being the constant)

c) It is clearly asking for OP

d) I am basically looking for the vant hoff's factor to solve this question

e) The concentration is given

f) Identify the values of i for each , and look for the highest value of C

g) Here BgBr2 has i = 3

NaCl = 2

glucose = 1

ethanoic acid = 1

So the highest osmotic pressure is of BgBr2
