A solution containing urea solution (molecular mass = 60 g mol-1) is isotonic with a 20 % solution of a nonvolatile solute. The molar mass of non volatile solute is-

When the pressure higher than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution, the solvent from the solution starts flowing towards the pure solvent.

Explain the principle of reverse osmosis.

What is Boyle-Van't Hoff law?

What is the relation between osmotic pressure and concentration of solution?

At , of glucose present in a litre of its solution has an osmotic pressure of bar. If the osmotic pressure of the solution is at the same temperature, what would be its concentration? (Write the answer without units)

A living cell contains a solution which is isotonic with sugar solution. What osmotic pressure develops when the cell is placed in solution at body temperature?

When solution and its pure solvent are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, the pressure applied to the solution to just stop osmosis is known as _____ pressure.

A semipermeable membrane is a layer that does not allow any molecules to pass through them.

Which of the following aqueous solutions will exert the highest osmotic pressure?

Reverse osmosis is a method of filtration. In it an external pressure is applied such that _____ particles move through a semipermeable membrane, from a region of high solute concentration to a region of low solute concentration.
