The molar concentration of a sugar solution in an open beaker has been determined to be 0.3m. calculate the solute potential at 27 degrees. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

- 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

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
