1. Choose the most correct answer.

vii. A living cell contains a solution which is isotonic with 0.3 M sugar solution.
What osmotic pressure develops when the cell is placed in 0.1 M KCl solution at body temperature?
a. 5.08 atm

b. 2.54 atm

c. 4.92 atm

d. 2.46 atm

Answer:-

2.54 atm

Explanation:

π = i1M1RT − i2M2RT

= [(1 × 0.3 mol dm−3) − (2 × 0.1 mol dm−3)] × 0.08205 atm dm3 K−1 mol−1 × 310 K

= 2.54 atm
