What is the osmolarity, in mOsM, of a solution composed of the following solutes?

Enter your answer as a number. Do not use words or symbols. - 0.2 M NaCl - 0.1 M Sucrose - 0.1 M glucose

Solution

0.2 M NaCl - 0.1 M Sucrose - 0.1 M glucose

Part-1:

1M solution of glucose -----> 1 Osmolar solution (Osm) ---> becuase it is nonionizing solute

0.1 M solution of glucose ---> 0.1 Osm ---> 0.0001mOsM

Part-2:

Osmolarity = 2 * Molarity of sodium chloride (NaCl)

Given molarity of NaCl ---> 0.2 M NaCl

1Molar solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) ---> 2 Osm (of osmolarity)

0.2 Molar NaCl ---->?

= 0.4Osm or 0.4 * 10^-3 = 0.0004mOsm

Part-3:

1M solution of sucrose -----> 1 Osmolar solution (Osm) ---> becuase it is nonionizing solute

0.1 M Sucrose ----> ?

= 0.1Osm * 10^-3 ---> 0.0001mOsm

What is the osmolarity, in mOsM, of a solution composed of the following solutes? Enter your answer as a number. Do not use words or symbols. - 0.2 M NaCl - 0.1
