Which of the following solutions would have the highest osmotic pressure? A) 0.2 M C₆H₁₂O₆,glucose B) 0.15 M MgCl₂,magnesium chloride C) 0.15 M KCl,potassium chloride D) 0.2 M CH₃OH,methanol E) 0.2 M C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁,sucrose

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MgCl2 dissociates into three ions (Mg2+ and 2 Cl-), which increases the number of particles in solution, thereby increasing the osmotic pressure compared to the other options which do not dissociate into as many particles or are non-electrolytes.
