Q.
A 5.25% solution of a substance is isotonic with a 1.5% solution of urea (molar mass = 60gmol−1)in the same solvent. If the densities of both the solution are assumed to be equal to 1.0gcm−3 molar mass of the substance will be
Isotonic solutions have the same molar concentration. Hence,
Molar cone. of the substance=Molar cone of urea M52.5gL−1=60gmol−115gL−1
(100 g solution = 100 mL as d = 1 g mol−1)
M = 1552.5×60 = 210 g mol−1
