Place the following solutions in order of increasing osmotic pressure. I.0.15 M C₂H₆O₂ II.0.15 M SrCl₂ III.0.15 M NaF A) III

Question

Place the following solutions in order of increasing osmotic pressure. I.0.15 M C₂H₆O₂ II.0.15 M SrCl₂ III.0.15 M NaF A) III < I < II B) II < III < I C) I < II < III D) II < I < III E) I < III < II

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmotic pressure depends on the concentration of particles in solution. SrCl2 dissociates into 3 ions, NaF into 2 ions, and C2H6O2 does not dissociate, so the order is I < III < II.
