Concept of water potential Free energy per mole is the chemical potential. The water potential is the chemical potential of a water solution in a system minus the chemical potential of pure water at atmospheric pressure and at the same temperature. A system’s water potential expresses its ability to do …

Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic solution Case A In the cell, Concentration = .1mMol L-1 Ψp is negligible or 0 In the solution of the container, Concentration = .1mMol L-1 Ψp = 0 In both cases, Ψw = Ψπ + Ψp = -CRT (Ψp is 0 or negligible) Comment: There will …

Chemistry is about combining different substances. Sometimes combining substances can cause a chemical reaction and bonding. This creates an entirely new substance called a compound. However, sometimes when there is no chemical reaction or bonding, it forms only a mixture. A mixture is made when two or more substances are …
