Correct Answer: 1111
Approach Solution - 1
Given :
Mole concept is used here, and the relationship is:
\( P_o - P_s = \frac{n}{N+n} \)
- \( P_o \): Initial vapor pressure
- \( P_s \): Vapor pressure of the solution
- \( N \): Number of moles of solvent
- \( n \): Number of moles of solute
Step-by-Step Calculation:
- The equation simplifies to: \[ 4n = N + n \]
- Rearranging, we get: \[ n = \frac{N}{3} \]
- \( N \), the number of moles of solvent (water), is calculated as: \[ N = \frac{1000}{18} \] \[ N = 55.56 \]
- Now, substituting \( N \) into the formula for \( n \): \[ n = \frac{55.56}{3} = 18.52 \]
- The weight of urea is calculated as: \[ \text{Weight of urea} = n \times \text{Molar mass of urea (60 g/mol)} \] \[ \text{Weight of urea} = 18.52 \times 60 = 1111.1 \, \text{g} \]
Conclusion:
The amount of urea is approximately 1111.1 g.

\(\frac{P^0-P_s}{P_s}=\frac{n_{solute}}{n_{solvent}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{x}{60}}{\frac{1000}{18}}=\frac{P^0-0.75P^0}{0.75P^0}\)
\(⇒x=\frac{10000}{9}=1111\ gm\)
So , the correct answer is 1111 gm

Top Questions on Solutions
- The spontaneous flow of the solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a pure solvent to a solution or from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution is called osmosis. The phenomenon of osmosis can be demonstrated by taking two eggs of the same size. In an egg, the membrane below the shell and around the egg material is semipermeable. The outer hard shell can be removed by putting the egg in dilute hydrochloric acid. After removing the hard shell, one egg is placed in distilled water and the other in a saturated salt solution. After some time, the egg placed in distilled water swells up while the egg placed in salt solution shrinks. The external pressure applied to stop the osmosis is termed as osmotic pressure (a colligative property). Reverse osmosis takes place when the applied external pressure becomes larger than the osmotic pressure.
- A solution containing 15 g urea (molar mass = 60 g mol\(^{-1}\)) per litre of solution in water has the same osmotic pressure (isotonic) as a solution of glucose (molar mass = 180 g mol\(^{-1}\)) in water. Calculate the mass of glucose present in one litre of its solution.
- Define Azeotrope. What type of Azeotrope is formed by negative deviation from Raoult's law? Give an example.
- A solution of glucose (molar mass = 180 g mol\(^{-1}\)) in water has a boiling point of 100.20°C. Calculate the freezing point of the same solution. Molal constants for water \(K_f\) and \(K_b\) are 1.86 K kg mol\(^{-1}\) and 0.512 K kg mol\(^{-1}\) respectively.
- Give reasons:
(a) Cooking is faster in a pressure cooker than in an open pan.
(b) On mixing liquid X and liquid Y, volume of the resulting solution decreases. What type of deviation from Raoult's law is shown by the resulting solution? What change in temperature would you observe after mixing liquids X and Y?

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:
- Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
- 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.
- Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
