The human red-blood-cell membrane is freely permeable to waterbut not at all to sucrose. The membrane forms a completely closedbag, and it is found by trial and error that adding the cells to asolution of a particular concentration of sucrose results inneither swelling nor shrinking of the cells. In a separateexperiment, the freezing point of that particular sucrose solutionis found to be -0.56?C.

If the exterior of the cell containsonly KCl solution, estimatethe KCl concentration. Assume that the membrane is alsoimpermeable to KCl.

If these cells are suspended in distilled water at 0?C, whatwould be the internal hydrostatic pressure at equilibrium, assumingthat the cell did not change volume?

---This is the all the information I'm given, I'm not evenexactly sure where to start here.
