Acell is in a equilibrium with its surrounding at 30 degrees celsius. the molarity of surrounding sucrose solution is 0.5m. calculate the solute potential of the surrounding solution

Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,

Ψ

Where,

Ψis the solute potential of the solution,

i is the degree to which the solute ionizes(ionization constant) in solution = 1, as sucrose is a nonelectrolyte.

C is the concentration of the solution in molarity = 0.5 M

R is the gas constant or the pressure constant = 0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K)

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale =

Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:

Ψ

              = -(1 * 0.5 M * (0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K))* 303 K)

              = 12.6 bar

Therefore, the solute potential of the surrounding solution is 12.6 bar

answer; the above answer to the above statement is (true)
