Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Monosubstituted benzene, when treated with an electrophile, undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Each reaction yields a disubstituted benzene as the product, which can be identified using the descriptors ortho, para and meta as products. Common ortho and para directing groups are:

  • OH, - OCH3, - NR2, - CH3, - NR2 etc. Common meta directing groups are:
  • NO, - SO3H, - COCH3, - CHO, - NO2, - CN, - NR3+ etc. Hence, only –OCH3 group is ortho and para directing.

At 273 K, 10 g glucose (p1), 10 g urea (p2) and 10 g sucrose (p3) are dissolved in 250 mL of water. The order of osmotic pressures (p1, p2 and p3), of above solutions is

  1. P1 > p2 > p3

  2. P1 > p3 > p2

  3. P2 > p1 > p3

  4. P3 > p1 > p2

  5. P3 > p2 > p1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since, equal weight of all electrolytes has been used. Higher the molecular weight, lower the number of moles and lower the magnitude of colligative properties like osmotic pressure. Molecular weight order is sucrose > glucose > urea. Hence, the order of osmotic pressures (p1, p2 and p3) of the above solutions is urea (p2) > glucose (p1) > sucrose (p3).
