Q36 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2014 · Chemistry
The molar mass of a solute $X$ in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$, if its $1 \%$ solution is isotonic with a $5 \%$ solution of cane sugar (molar mass $=342 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ), is
- Correct answerA$68.4$
- B$34.2$
- C$136.2$
- D$171.2$
Solution
For isotonic solutions
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{W_1}{V_1 m_1}=\frac{W_2}{V_2 m_2} \\
& \frac{W_1}{V_1}=1, \frac{W_2}{V_2}=5 \\
& m_1=\text { ?, } m_2=342 \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{1}{m_1}=\frac{5}{342} or\\
& m_1=\frac{342}{5} or \\
& m_1=68.4=X \\
&
\end{aligned}
$$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
