The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we need to understand the concepts of isotonic solutions and osmotic pressure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Compounds**: - Glauber's salt is sodium sulfate decahydrate, represented as Na2SO4·10H2O. When it dissolves in water, it dissociates into 2 sodium ions (Na⁺) and 1 sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻). Therefore, the total number of particles produced from 1 mole of Glauber's salt is 3 (2 Na⁺ + 1 SO₄²⁻). - KNO3 (potassium nitrate) dissociates into 1 potassium ion (K⁺) and 1 nitrate ion (NO₃⁻), producing a total of 2 particles from 1 mole of KNO3. 2. **Calculating Van't Hoff Factor (i)**: - For Glauber's salt (Na2SO4), the Van't Hoff factor (i) is 3. - For KNO3, the Van't Hoff factor (i) is 2. 3. **Isotonic Solutions**: - Two solutions are said to be isotonic if they exert the same osmotic pressure. The osmotic pressure (π) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \pi = i \cdot C \cdot R \cdot T \] where: - \(i\) = Van't Hoff factor - \(C\) = molar concentration - \(R\) = universal gas constant - \(T\) = temperature in Kelvin 4. **Comparing Osmotic Pressures**: - For the 1M solution of Glauber's salt: \[ \pi_{Glauber's} = 3 \cdot 1 \cdot R \cdot T = 3RT \] - For the 1M solution of KNO3: \[ \pi_{KNO3} = 2 \cdot 1 \cdot R \cdot T = 2RT \] - Since \(3RT \neq 2RT\), the osmotic pressures are different. Therefore, a 1M solution of Glauber's salt is **not isotonic** with a 1M solution of KNO3. 5. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement I**: "1M solution of Glauber's salt is isotonic with 1M solution of KNO3." - This statement is **false**. - **Statement II**: "Solutions having the same molar concentration of solute may or may not have the same osmotic pressure." - This statement is **true** because osmotic pressure depends on the Van't Hoff factor, which can vary between different solutes. ### Conclusion: - Statement I is false. - Statement II is true.
