Answer:
- 7.48
Explanation:
Given:
Concentration of the sugar solution, C = 0.3 M
Temperature, T = 27° C = 273 + 27 = 300 K
Now,
The solute potential is given as:
solute potential = - iCRT
where,
i is the number of particles the particular molecule will make in water
i = 1 for sugar
R is the universal gas constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole-K
on substituting the respective values, we get
solute potential = - 1 × 0.3 × 0.0831 × 300
or
The solute potential = - 7.479 ≈ - 7.48
