Question

Beaker A contains 6 liters of water and 1 osmole of glucose. Beaker B contains 10 liters of water and 2 osmoles of glucose. Which one has the greater osmolarity and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer: B

beaker A is 0.16 Osm/L and Beaker B is 0.2 Osm/L Beaker B has a greater osmolarity by 0.04 Osm/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

From the ratio of glucose osmole to the volume of water in the two beakers, beaker B would have the greater osmolarity.

The term osmolarity refers to the number of particles of solutes or osmoles of substances per liter of solution.

In this case, the osmolarity of beaker A can be calculated as;

1 osmole/6 liter

= 0.167 osmolar

The osmolarity of beak B can be calculated as:

2 osmoles/10 liter

= 0.2 osmolar

Thus, beaker B with 0.2 osmolar has the greater osmolarity when compared to beaker A with 0.167 osmolar.
