The cocentration of solute in four cells...

The cocentration of solute in four cells is `0.4m.` They are placed in four separate containers `I,II,III` and `IV` filled with saline water of concentrations `0.1M,0.4M,2M` and `3M`respectively. In container will the cell swell?

A

`I`

B

`II`

C

`III`

D

`IV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Concentration fo container-I with respect to the cell is hypotonic therefore, endosmosis occurs and water will move from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration (i.e., from container to cell ), as a result of which cell in container-I will swell.

Read the passage given below and answer the question: The cell constant is usually determined by measuring the resistance of the cell containing a solution whose conductivity is already known. For this purpose, we generally use KCl solutions whose conductivity is known accurately at various concentrations and at different temperatures. consider the resistance of a conductivity cell filled with 0.1 M KCl solution is 200 Ohm. if the resistance of the same cell when filled with 0.02 M KCl solution is 420 Ohm. (Conductivity of 0.1 M KCl solution is 1.29 S m^(-1) ). Q. What is the conductivity of 0.02 M KCl solution ?
