Which of the following aqueous solutions will have the highest osmolarity? A) 0.1 M ethylene glycol, C₂H₆O₂, has the highest osmolarity. B) 0.1 M glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, has the highest osmolarity. C) 0.1 M sucrose, C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, has the highest osmolarity. D) All of these have the same osmolarity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmolarity depends on the total concentration of solute particles in solution. Since all options are 0.1 M solutions of non-electrolytes (they do not dissociate into ions in solution), they all have the same osmolarity.
