The osmotic pressure of a 0.010 M sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) solution at 25°C is 0.24 atm.How does the osmotic pressure of a 0.010 M glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) solution at 25°C compare to this? Note that neither solute is volatile or ionizable.
A) The glucose solution has a lower osmotic pressure because its molar mass is lower than sucrose.
B) The glucose solution has a higher osmotic pressure because its molar mass is lower than sucrose.
C) The osmotic pressures are equal because the solutions have the same molar concentration.
D) Nothing can be said about the osmotic pressure of the glucose solution without more information.
