(a) Define the following terms : (i) Molarity (ii) Molal elevation constant (K_(b)) (b)A solution containing 15 g urea (molar mass = 60 g mol^(-1)) per litre of solution in water has same osmotic pressure (isotonic) as a solution of glucose (molar mass = 180 g mol^(-1)) in water. Calculate the mass of glucose present in one litte of its solution.

Answer»

Solution :(a) (i) Molarity is defined as NUMBER of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution.
(ii) lt is equal to elevation in boiling point of 1 molal solution.
(b) For ISOTONIC solutions :
`pi_("urea") = pi_("glucose")` `(W_("urea"))/(M_("urea" xx V_(S)))= (W_("Glucose"))/(M_("Glucose" xx V_(s)))`
(As volume of solution is same
`(W_("urea"))/(M_("urea")) = ("glocose")/("glocose")`
or `(15 g)/( 60 g" mol"^(-1)) = (w_("Glucose"))/(180 g "mol"^(-1))`
`W_("glucose")= (15 g xx 180 g "mol"^(-1))/(60 g "mol"^(-1))`= 45 g
