The value of osmotic potential of an electolyte is always

A

more than non electrolyte

B

less than non electrolyte

C

same as non electrolyte

D

none of the above .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The value of osmotic potential of an electrolyte will be greater will be greater by the degree of its dissociation into ions at a given temperature and dilution over the one calculated by Van't Hoffs formula , P=CRT `xx` I or ionisation constant .
