The molar concentration of the potato cell is 0.2M

Question

The solute potential can be find using the formula given below
Ψ = -iCRT where
i = the ionization
C = molar sucrose concentration at equilibrium
R = pressure constant (0.0831litres bar per mole
T = temperature K (273 + ℃)
Givens
i= (-1) (0.2M) (0.0831) (25℃ +273 = 298℃)
= -4.9527
= - 4.953
how can we solve for solute potential

Answer 1

To solve for solute potential, you can substitute the values into the formula Ψ = -iCRT:

Ψ = -(-4.953) * 0.2 * 0.0831 * 298
Ψ = 4.953 * 0.2 * 0.0831 * 298
Ψ = 0.1969

Therefore, the solute potential of the potato cell is 0.1969 bars.
