Assume a living cell with 0.9% (ω/ω) of glucose solution (aqueous). This cell is immersed in another solution having equal mole fraction of glucose and water.
(Consider the data upto first decimal place only) The cell will :
1
shrink since soluton is 0.5 % (ω/ω)
2
shrink since solution is 0.45% (ω/ω) as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding)
3
swell up since solution is 1% (ω/ω)
4
Show no change in volume since solution is 0.9% (ω/ω)
