Question

Please explain it with steps, Thank you!

5 A cell s a semipermeable membrane through which water may pass. If a cell, having a salinity (salt content) of 1.5% w/v NaCl, is placed in a solution made of normal physiological saline (0.9% w/vNaCl) which way will the water flow? Explain your answer. (Diagrams are OK also, but need to have words explaining it.) Flow of water Bag is a sem permeable Solution in bag "cell" Solution outside of bag (the stuff in the beaker) 6. Calculate the molar mass of electrolyte with the formula X1Y2, when a solution is made by dissolving 27.745 mg of the electrolyte ah n enough water to make a 350.0 mL solution having an osmotic pressure of 39.75 mmHg at 25°C.

Answer 1

5. Water (solvent) molecules flow from lower concentration solution to higher concentration solution. This is known as osmosis.

In the given data cell has higher concentration (1.5% NaCl) and out side solution has lower concentration (0.9%NaCl). So water flows from cell to out side solution.
