A 2% sucrose solution is isotonic with 1.5% solution of an unknown substance. Calculate molecular mass of unknown substance.

Sagot :

The molar mass of the unknown substance is 256.6 g/mol.

What is the molar mass of sucrose?

The molar mass of sucrose C12H22011 is 342 g/mol.

A 2% sucrose solution is isotonic with 1.5% solution of an unknown substance.

Molar mass of sucrose = Molar mass of unknown substance.

2% × 1000/342 = 1.5% × 1000/x

x = 342 × 1.5/2

x = 256.5 g/ mol

Therefore, the molar mass of the unknown substance is 256.6 g/mol.
