At 300 K, the two solutions of glucose A and B in water with respective concentration 0.01 M and 0.001 M are separated by semipermeable membrane. How much external pressure is needed to be applied and on which solution so as to prevent osmosis?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
; 
The movement of solvent particles will occur from dilute solution to . Hence, the pressure of (0.2463 
.) should be applied on concentrated solution i.e., solution A.
