Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

Where,

Ψ_{s}is the solute potential of the solution,

<em>i</em> 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 = 30^{0}+273 =303 K

Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

              = -(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

Characteristics of the alexandrium catenella?
professor190 [17]

Answer: Alexandrium catenella is a species of dinoflagellates. Alexandrium has two flagella that enable it to swim. While one flagellum encircles the cell causing the cell to rotate and move forward, the other extends behind the cell and controls the direction.

The cell wall is composed of cellulose Theca.

Length 20 - 48 μm, width 18 - 34 μm

Yellow-green to orange-brown

Forms chains of 2, 4 or 8 cells
