Which of the following solutions would have the highest osmotic pressure? A)0.2 M KBr,potassium bromide B)0.2 M MgBr₂,magnesium bromide C)0.3 M CH₃COOH,acetic acid D)0.3 M C₆H₁₂O₆,glucose E)0.3 M C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁,sucrose

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MgBr2 (magnesium bromide) dissociates into three ions (Mg^2+ and 2 Br^-), which increases the number of particles in solution, thereby increasing the osmotic pressure compared to the other options which either do not dissociate into as many particles or do not dissociate at all.
