 The solute potential is expressed in the formula P= – iCRT, where i = the ionization constant, C = the molar concentration , R = the pressure constant (R = 0.0831 liter * bars/mole * K), and T = the temperature in K (273 + °C). At atmospheric pressure and 25°C has an osmotic potential - A 0.15 M NaCl solution contains 2 ions, Na+ and Cl- (where sucrose stays as one particle); therefore i = 2, and the water potential = -7.4 bars. 
Water will move into the cell by osmosis from 0.1 to 0.15.

Answer:

The correct answer is -7.429 bars.

Explanation:

The solute potential inside the cell is calculated by the formula = -iCRT

Here, i refers to the number of ions, C refers to the concentration of solute, R refers to the gas constant, and T is the temperature (K)

The concentration within the cell of the plant is 0.15 M for NaCl, i = 2, R = 0.0831 and T = 298 K or 25 degree C.  

Solute potential = - (2 * 0.15 * 0.0831 * 298) = -7.429 bar

What is the process of water moving through the soil called answers?
Furkat [3]
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
