NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3so117

Four aqueous solutions are each : glucose, urea, and . Assuming complete dissociation of the electrolytes, which has the lowest vapour pressure at a given temperature?

  1. AGlucose
  2. B
  3. CUrea
  4. D

Answer: D

Vapour pressure lowering depends on the number of solute particles. Particles per formula unit are: glucose 1, urea 1, 2 and 3. The most particles give the largest lowering, so has the lowest vapour pressure.
