The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Weight of D-glucose in water =\( 250\) \(g\)
∴ Weight of carbon in D-glucose

\(\frac{250}{180}×72 = 100\) \(g\)

Percentage of carbon in the aqueous solution of glucose is

\(10.8\%\)

∴ Weight of the solution is = \(925.93\)
∴ Molality of D-glucose is

=\(\frac{\frac{ 250}{180}}{(925.93 - 250)}×1000\)

\(\frac{250}{180×675.93} ×1000\)

\(2.06\)

Hence, the correct option is (B): \(2.06\)

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
