An artificial vesicle containing a 1 M glucose solution is composed of a phospholipid bilayer lacking any protein components other than aquaporin channels. Assuming an ideal solution, what is the ratio of the osmotic pressure measured immediately after immersion of the vesicle in de-ionized water to the osmotic pressure measured immediately after immersion of an identical vesicle containing the original volume of 1 M glucose solution added to an equal volume of 1 M KCl solution in deionized water

A: 0.67

The situation described in the question is analogous to a semipermeable membrane. Water is able to pass through aquaporin channels present in the liposome, but large uncharged particles (glucose) and ions (K+ and Cl -) are impermeable and will remain trapped within the liposome. If assumed to be ideal, the osmotic pressure, π, exerted by the solution due to molarity differences across the membrane is defined as π = iMRT, where i is the van't Hoff factor, M is the molarity of the solution, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the solution. A change in osmotic pressure at constant temperature is due to changes in iM, a term that is equivalent to the concentration of dissolved particles produced by solute in solution. When compared to the original volume of 1 M glucose, the new combined solution has twice the volume and three times the number of dissolved particles (1 M KCl, a strongly electrolytic solution, produces 1 M concentrations of both K+ and Cl- in solution), or an increase in the concentration of dissolved particles by a factor of 1.5. This is equivalent to a combined molarity of dissolved particles of 1.5 M. The ratio of osmotic pressure is then [1 M dissolved glucose] / [1.5 M dissolved glucose + KCl] = 0.67

Have A Great Day

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

the answer is 1260

you spend 7 hours in school for 1 school day with 5 school days in 1 school week with 36 school weeks in a school year.

7*5*36= 1260 it's all about multiplying
