5. Tree sap can be a very concentrated solution of solutes in water. These are mostly sugars, with van’t Hoff factors of 1. The

root system provides a semi-permeable membrane across which water moves to “dilute” the sap, providing a significant osmotic pressure.
a. If a tree sap has an effective concentration of 37 Molar, what pressure is generate at 298K across the endodermis root membrane? R = 0.08216 L.atm/mol.K.

b. If an osmotic pressure of 1.0 atm can raise a volume of water 10.33 meters high, how high can the sap of this tree rise?

Answer:

a)905,89 atm of pressure will be generated at 298K.

b)The sap of tree can rise upto 9,357.84 meters.

Explanation:

a)

Effective concentration of sap = c = 37 M

Osmotic pressure generate at 298K = \pi

Temperature ,T = 298 K

\pi =cRT

\pi =37 mol/L\times 0.08216 atm L/mol L\times 298 K

\pi =905.89 atm

905,89 atm of pressure will be generated at 298K across the endodermis root membrane.

b)

Given that 1.0 at of pressure raises the volume of water upto height of 10.33 m

Then 905.89 atm of pressure will raise the height of water upto:

\frac{10.33}{1.0}\times 905.89 m=9,357.84 m

The sap of the tree can rise upto 9,357.84 meter.

While you are using a battery, the cell reaction is going a) forward, b) backward, c) at equilibrium, d) TEXASIN all possible
polet [3.4K]

Answer:Cell reaction is going forward.

Explanation:

For any chemical reaction to be spontaneous or to move in forward direction the ΔG ,the Gibbs free energy must be negative.

The cell potential of a battery is positive for a spontaneous reaction, so for a battery to give output its cell potential must be positive.

Thermodynamics and electro-chemistry are related in the following manner:

ΔG=-nFE

n=number of electrons involved

F=Faradays constant

E=cell pottential of battery

so from the above equation ΔG would only be negative when E cell that is the cell potential is positive.

For a battery which is being used its cell potential is positive and hence the ΔG would be negative. So the cell reaction occurring would be in forward direction as ΔG is negative.

when the cell potential Ecell is 0 then ΔG is also zero then the reaction occurring in battery would be at equilibrium.

When the cell potential Ecell is - then ΔG is positive and the reaction would be occurring backwards.
