Detailed Solution

As both solutions are isotonic, therefore their osmotic pressure value is the same.

πglycerine=πglucose CglycerineRT=CglucoseRT Cglycerine=Cglucose

1.02% means that 1.02 g of glycerine present in 100 ml. Similarly, 2% means that 2 g of glucose present in 100 ml.

                                                Cglycerine=Cglucose 1.02×1000molecular weight of glycerine×100=2×1000180×100              molecular weight of glycerine=91.8
