A sample of algae containing two liters of water and has 100 grams of salt in their cells. The algae is placed in a bucket with 4 gallons of water and 300 grams of salt dissolved. What will happen when the system reaches equilibrium?
matter of simple osmosis. first look at the concentration of NaCl in H2O. Without even looking at raw numbers, it will have a greater concentration of salt in 4L water and 300 g of salt water above 2L and 100 g of salt. If plants are allowed to equilibrate at 100gNaCl crappy 2 H20 L, putting in high concentrated salt water to draw water from the algal cells because the solution is hypertonic to the cells of algae. sorry for rambling, but when the system reaches equilibrium, the water will come from algae and hypertonic solution.
