When placed in a concentrated salt solution, certain yeasts are able to produce high internal concentrations of glycerol (i=1) to counteract the osmotic pressure of the surrounding medium. Suppose that the yeast cells are placed in an aqueous solution containing 4.0% NaClNaCl by mass; the solution density is 1.02 g/mL at 25°C. R= 0.08206 L•atm/mol•K what is the solute's weight and moles? what it the solution's volume in liters? what is its molarity? what temperature is used to compute the osmotic pressure? and what is its osmotic pressure?
