Interpretation:
The reason for the limp lettuce becomes crisp when soaked in water in terms of colligative properties is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Property of a solution that doesn’t depend on the identity of the solute but on the number of solute particles present is known as colligative property.
Osmosis is one of the important colligative properties of solution. Osmosis is the process where solvent particles diffuse through a membrane that does not allow for the passage of solute particles.
The molecules of solvent particles move through the semi permeable membrane from lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration. The passage of solvent molecules continues until both the solutions become equally concentrated and both the solutions have same osmotic pressure.
The osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required for a solution to prevent the passage of solvent particles through a semi permeable membrane.

- The vibrational contribution isa) temperature independent for internal energy and heat capacityb) temperature dependent for internal energy and heat capacityc) temperature independent for heat capacityd) temperature independent for internal energyarrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. Explain the basis of approximating the summation to an integral in translational motion.arrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kTarrow_forward
