Detailed Solution

Here the given data is, 

Molarity of Na2So4 = 0.004

Molarity of glucose = 0.01 

Temperature is same 

Degree of dissociation of Na2So4 = ? 

 As given in que. That the solution is isotonic type so, 

            ππNa2So4=πglucose  

 ( π = osmotic pressure)

              M1×R×T×i1 = M2×R×T×i2

( R = constant

  T = same , so both cancel out.)

M1×i1=M2×i2       

  ( Glucose is a non polar solute so i = 1)

             0.004×i1 = 0.01×1

                  i1 = 2.5

 i = 1+(n-1) degree of dissociation (α)

   (n = 3 as Na2So4  brokes into 2Na+and So42-)

   2.5 = 1+(3-1) degree of dissociation

   Degree of dissociation = 1.5/2 

                                        = 0.75 

   Degree of dissociation in % = 75% .

Hence, the correct option is: (C) 75% .
