Detailed Solution

Osmotic pressure, π=i×MRTWhere, i = van't Hoff factor, M = Molarity R = gas constant, T = temperatureFor 0.500 M C2H5OH (aq), i = 1, thus, πC2H5OH(aq)=0.5RTFor 0.100 M Mg3(PO4)2(aq), i=5[∵ Mg3(PO4)2⇌3Mg2++2PO43−]Thus, πMg3(PO4)2(aq)=5×0.1×RTFor 0.125 M Na3PO4(aq),i=4[∵ Na3PO4⇌3Na++PO43−]Thus, πNa3PO4(aq)=4×0.125×RT=0.5 RTHence, all solutions have same osmotic pressure.
