    A \[0.5\,\,g/L\] solution of glucose is found to be isotonic with a \[2.5\,\,g/L\] solution of an organic compound. What will be the molecular weight of that organic compound?

    A) \[300\]                                 

    B) \[600\]

    C)  \[925\]                                

    D)  \[1200\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, Glucose solution\[=0.5\,\,g/L\]is isotonic with \[2.5\,\,g/L\] solution of organic compound. Molarity of glucose \[=\frac{mass\,\,of\,\,glucose/molecular\,\,mass\,\,of\,\,glucose}{V\,\,of\,\,solution\,\,in\,\,L}\]\[=\frac{0.5/180}{1}=0.0027\,\,M\] \[\because \]Glucose solution -is: isotonic with, organic compound solution. \[\therefore \]molarity of glucose                 \[=\]molarity of organic compound                 \[=0.0027\,\,M\] Molarity of organic compound \[=\frac{molecular\,\,mass\,\,of\,\,organic\,\,compound}{V\,\,of\,\,solution}\] or\[0.0027=\frac{2.5/molecular\,\,mass}{1}\] \[\therefore \]  molecular mass\[=\frac{2.5}{0.0027}\]                                               \[=925\]
