Question

If you have five different osmometers containing 02 M 04 M 0.6 M. 08M and 1M of sucrose solutions which one will it have the highest osmotic pressure if they were submerged in pure water beakers

Expert Solution

Step 1

0.02M, 0.04M, 0.06M, 0.08M, 1M

These are the sucrose solutions and when these solutions are placed in water, the water starts entering the sucrose solutions. Sucrose solution containing more sucrose solution will be hypertonic or hyperosmotic and in that hyperosmotic solution water will enter as pure water is hypotonic. So more water will enter from the higher water concentration to the one sugar solution which has the highest concentration of sugar which will the one with the highest molarity.
