Question

Place the following aqueous solutions of nonvolatile,nonionic compounds in order of decreasing osmotic pressure. I.0.011 M sucrose II.0.00095 M galactose III.0.0060 M glycerin
A) I > III > II
B) I > II > III
C) II > III > I
D) III > I > II
E) II > I > III

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the molarity of the solution. Among the given options, 0.011 M sucrose has the highest molarity, followed by 0.0060 M glycerin and 0.00095 M galactose. Therefore, the correct order is I > III > II.
