Question

if total concentration of dissolved particle inside red blood cells is 0.3 M approx and the membrane is surrounding the cell is semipermeable find osmotic pressure inside the cell

Answer 1

Answer:

1) If the red blood cells were removed from the body and placed in pure water, water would pass through the cell membrane causing an increase in pressure inside cells.

Thus, osmotic pressure(π) is

2)π=CRT

     =0.30*0.0821*298

     =7.3 atm

so the internal pressure is much more than atmospheric pressure it means blood cells will burst.
