The total concentration of dissolved particles in side red blood cells is approximately `0.30 M` and the membrane surrounding the cells is semipermeable. What would be the atmosheric pressure in atm inside the cells become if the cells were removed from blood plasma and placed in pure water at `298 K`. Also what would happen to red blood cells?

Explanation

If red blood cells are removed from blood plasma and placed in pure water, water will pass through the cell memrane due to osmosis causing an increase in pressure inside the cells. The pulled up of internal pressure would cause the blood cells to burst.
`pi = CRT`
`= 0.30 xx 0.0821 xx 298`
`= 7.34 atm`
