4. Try This!
If you place a red blood cell in a hypotonic solution, what happen and why?
How is this different than if you placed an onion cell in the same hypotonic solution?

5. Water Potential

6. Try This!
A dialysis tubing was filled with 0.20 M MgCl2 solution and placed inside a beaker of distilled water at 20°C.
What is the initial solute potential inside the dialysis tubing?
What is the initial water potential inside the dialysis tubing and the initial water potential outside in the beaker?
Use the concept of water potential to explain why osmosis will occur.
