What is the osmolarity of .1 grams (0.1 mg%) of ethanol (does not dissociate) in one liter?

Explanation:

As it is known that non-electrolytes do not dissociate. Therefore, molarity of such a solution is equal to the osmolarity of solution.

As, molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Therefore, no. of moles of ethanol will be calculated as follows.

               No. of moles =

                                     =

                                     = mol

As, molarity is moles of solute in liter of solution. Hence, molarity of ethanol is as follows.

                           Molarity =

                                          =

                                          = mol/L

Since, for the given solution Molarity = osmolarity

Thus, we can conclude that osmolarity of .00001 grams (0.1 mg%) of ethanol  in 1 L is osmol/L.
