Show Hint
Understanding the properties of solutions (such as osmotic pressure, concentration, and composition) helps in matching different types of solutions correctly.
To solve this matching question, we need to align the types of solutions with their respective explanations. Let's analyze each item:
Saturated solution: This is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. Therefore, it matches with \((III)\).
Isotonic solutions: These are solutions that have the same osmotic pressure at a given temperature. Hence, it corresponds to \((IV)\).
Binary solution: A solution having two components is known as a binary solution. Thus, it matches with \((I)\).
Hypertonic solution: This refers to a solution whose osmotic pressure is more than that of another solution. Therefore, it fits with \((II)\).
Based on the analysis above, we can determine the correct matching:
