Equal masses () of the following are dissolved separately in water: urea (M = 60), (M = 58.5, assume complete dissociation), a macromolecular colloid (M = ) and a gold sol whose particles each contain Au atoms (Au = 197). Taking ideal behaviour, the decreasing order of osmotic pressure is

  1. Aurea macromolecule gold sol
  2. B urea macromolecule gold sol
  3. C urea gold sol macromolecule
  4. Dmacromolecule urea gold sol

Answer: B

Osmotic pressure is proportional to the number of solute particles per litre, i.e. . The values are : ; urea: ; macromolecule: ; gold sol: (mol per litre). The order is > urea > macromolecule > gold sol.
