Chapter 14, Problem 40RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among solutions of $100\text{ g}$ of urea in $1{\text{ kg H}}_2\text{O}$ and that of $150\text{ g}$ of glucose in $1{\text{ kg H}}_2\text{O}$, one with higher osmotic pressure has to be governed.

Concept Introduction:

Colligative properties are dependent on amount of solute particles and not on their natures. These are caused due to addition of nonvolatile solute in any solution. Below mentioned are colligative properties.

1. Freezing point depression

2. Boiling point elevation

3. Vapor pressure lowering

4. Osmotic pressure
