A solution of 1.73g of 'A' in 100 "cc" of water is found to be isotonic with a 3.42% (wt./vol.) solution of sucrose (C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)). Calculate molecular weight of A. (C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)=342)

Answer»

SOLUTION :We know that the isotonic SOLUTIONS have the same molar CONCENTRATION (i.e., moles/lit)
LET the molecular WEIGHT of A be M
Moles of `A=(1.73)/(M)`
`:.` molar conc.of A (moles/litre) `=(1.73)/(M)xx(1000)/(100)=(17.3)/(M)`
Molar conc.of sucrose `=(3.42)/(342)xx(1000)/(100)=0.1`
`:.(17.3)/(M)=0.1`, `M=173`
