Question 9 • *25-26 KCS18 Chemistry IC

Suppose you have a 0.15 m glucose solution in water. How will the osmotic pressure of this solution change if you add water?

Answer
A
It will increase.
B
It will decrease.

Explanation

Osmotic pressure is proportional to the concentration of dissolved particles at a fixed temperature. Adding water dilutes the glucose solution, lowering its concentration, so its osmotic pressure will decrease. The correct choice is B, “It will decrease.”
