6 gram of non volatile, non electrolyte solute X is present in 1 litre and this solution is isotonic with 0.2 925 weight by volume percentage NaCl solution. Molar mass of X is

Dear Student,
Isotonic solution means the solution have the same osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure, pi space equals fraction numerator n R T over denominator V end fraction
.
mass of   NaCl = 0.2925 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 58 g mol-1
Number of moles =0.2925/58
Osmotic pressure of NaCl solution,  π=0.2925×0.082×T58×0.1
For a non-volatile solution

Mass of Non-volatile solute = 6 g
Volume of solution = 1 L
Number of moles = 6 / M
where M is molar mass of non-volatile solute.
Osmotic pressure of non-volatile solution,π=6×0.082×TM×1
Equating the osmotic pressures

           0.2925×0.082×T58×0.1=6×0.082×TM×1=> M =6×58×0.10.2925=118.97

Molar mass of non-volatile solute, X = 118.97 g mol-1
