Question

Which salt shows maximum osmotic pressure in its 1 M solution? (A)  MgCl2  (B)  (NH4)3PO4  (C)  Na2SO4  (D)  AgNO3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and colligative properties depends upon the number of particles in the solution. (NH4)3PO4 will give maximum number of ions (4 ions) in solution, hence, its osmotic pressure will also be the maximum.
