A 10% solution of NaCl has a higher concentration of water than a 10% solution of glucose.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a 10% solution of NaCl, the NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, effectively increasing the number of solute particles in the solution compared to a 10% glucose solution, where glucose molecules do not dissociate. Therefore, the concentration of water (solvent) is relatively lower in the NaCl solution due to the higher effective concentration of solute particles.
