Q. A living cell contains a solution which is isotonic with $0.3( M )$ sugar solution. What will be the osmotic pressure when the cell is placed in $0.1( M ) \,KCl$ solution at body temperature?

Solutions

Solution:

$\pi =\left(i_{1}, C_{1}-i_{2} C_{2}\right) R T $

$=(1 \times 0.3-2 \times 0.1) \times 0.082 \times 310$

$=2.54 \,atm $
