Options:
  • A Water flows form BaCl2 solution towards NaCl solution
  • B There is no movement of any solution across the membrane
  • C Osmotic pressure of 0.1 M NaCl is lower than the osmotic pressure of BaCl2 (Assume complete dissociation)
  • D Water flows from NaCl solution towards BaCl2 solution

The correct answer is: Water flows form BaCl2 solution towards NaCl solution
Using πV=iCRT
i = 2 for NaCl
i = 3 for BaCl2
πVNaCl=2×0.1RT=0.2RT
πVBaCl2=3×0.05RT=0.15RT
As πVNaCl>πVBaCl2 . Here water flows from BaCl2 towards NaCl solution.
