Answer the questions according to the given diagram. And give reason to your answer.
(a) Solution of which chamber has a lower potential ?
(b) Solution of which chamber has a lower solute potential ?
(c) In which direction will osmosis occur ?
(d) which solution has a higher solute potential ?
(e) At equilibrium which chamber will have lower water potential ?
(f) If one chamber has a of -2000 kpa, and the other -1000 kpa. Which is the chamber that the higher
Dear student,
Ans(a) Chamber B has lower water potential.
Ans(b) Chamber A has lower solute potential.
Ans (c) Osmosis will occur from chamber A to B, because osmosis occurs in the direction of higher water potential to lower potential.
Ans (d) Chamber B has higher solute potential
Ans (e) At equilibrium, both the chambers will have have same water potential.
Ans (f) chamber with -2000kPa water potential is higher than than having -1000kPa water potential.
Regards.
