Which has maximum osmotic pressure at temperature T K?a)100 mL of 1.0 ...
Maximum Osmotic Pressure at Temperature T K
All the given options have the same concentration of solutes (1.0 M) but different types of solutes. The osmotic pressure of a solution depends on the concentration of solutes and their nature.
Isotonic Solutions
An isotonic solution is a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as another solution. In other words, when two solutions are isotonic, they have the same concentration of solutes and the same osmotic pressure.
Option A: 100 mL of 1.0 M Urea Solution
Urea is a small molecule and can easily pass through the semi-permeable membrane. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of the urea solution will be low.
Option B: 300 mL of 1.0 M Glucose Solution
Glucose is a larger molecule than urea and cannot pass through the semi-permeable membrane as easily. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of the glucose solution will be higher than the urea solution.
Option C: Mixture of 100 mL of 1.0 M Urea Solution and 300 mL of 1.0 M Glucose Solution
The mixture of urea and glucose solutions will have a higher osmotic pressure than the individual solutions because the total concentration of solutes is higher.
Option D: All of the Above Are Isotonic Solutions
Since all the given options have the same concentration of solutes (1.0 M) and their osmotic pressures are different, they cannot be isotonic individually. However, when mixed together, they can form an isotonic solution with a concentration of 1.0 M and an osmotic pressure equal to the sum of their individual osmotic pressures.
Conclusion
Option D is the correct answer because when the urea and glucose solutions are mixed together, they can form an isotonic solution with a higher osmotic pressure than the individual solutions.
