                    A solution containing 10 g per dm3 of urea (molecular mass \[=60\,\,g\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]) is isotonic with a 5% solution of a non-volatile solute. The molecular mass of this non-volatile solute is:                                           

    A)                 \[250\,\,g\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B)                 \[300\,\,g\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C)                         \[350\,\,g\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    D)                 \[200\,\,g\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                                   \[10\,g\,per\,d{{m}^{3}}\] of urea is isotonic with 5% solution of a non-volatile solute.  Hence, between these solution osmosis is not possible so their molar concentrations are equal to each other.                 Thus, molar concentration of urea solution                 \[=\frac{10\,g/d{{m}^{3}}}{Mol.\,wt.\,of\,urea}\]                 \[=\frac{10}{60}\,M=\frac{1}{6}\,M\]                 Molar concentration of 5% non-volatile solute                 \[=\frac{50\,g/d{{m}^{3}}}{mol.\,wt.\,of\,non-volatile\,solute}\]                 \[=\frac{50}{m}\,M\]                 Both solutions are isotonic to each other, therefore                 \[\frac{1}{6}=\frac{50}{m}\]                         \[orm=50\times 6=300\,g\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
