MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Identify correct statements from following regarding 0.2 M urea and 0.2 M sucrose solutions.

(A)The urea solution is hypertonic to sucrose solution.
(B)The osmotic pressure of urea solution is higher than that of sucrose solution.
(C)These solutions exhibit same osmotic pressure.Correct
(D)The sucrose solution is hypotonic to urea solution.

Answer: (C)

Solution

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property: for non-electrolytes, depending only on the molar concentration of solute particles. Urea and sucrose are both non-electrolytes (no dissociation or association), so 0.2 M of each has the same particle concentration and therefore the same osmotic
