    The relationship between the values of osmotic pressure of 0.1 M solutions of \[\text{KN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\text{(}{{\text{p}}_{\text{1}}}\text{)}\]and \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH({{p}_{2}})\]is

    A)  \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}}{{{p}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}}\]    

    B)  \[{{p}_{1}}>{{p}_{2}}\] 

    C)         \[{{p}_{2}}>{{p}_{1}}\] 

    D)         \[{{p}_{1}}={{p}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and vant Hoff factor of \[KN{{O}_{3}}=2\] \[(\because \,KN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}^{+}}+NO_{3}^{-})\] vant Hoff factor of (\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]is less than that of \[\text{KN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]because \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}COOH\]is a weak electrolyte. \[\therefore \] Osmotic pressure of \[KN{{O}_{3}}({{p}_{1}})\] = vant Hoff factor \[\times \] cone. \[=2\times 0.1\] \[\therefore \]Osmotic pressure of \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH({{p}_{2}})\]is less than that of \[KN{{O}_{3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{p}_{1}}>{{p}_{2}}\]
