A doctor injections a patient with what the doctor thinks is isotonic saline solution. The patient dies,and autopsy reveals that many red blood cells are swollen or completely destroyed. 1. Do you think the solution the doctor injected was really isotonic.2. Assuming that the doctor did not inject an isotonic solution what was the tonicity of the solution he injected 3. Explain what caused the patients red blood cells to swell. Incorporate into your answer three or more following terms . Hypotonic ,isotonic,high concentration, lower concentration, lower concentration,tonicity,extracellular,intracellular

8.Patients who enter the emergency room dehydrated are usually given sterile saline solution intravenously. The solution administered is isotonic to prevent cell damage. What would happen if the solution was hypotonic? Group of answer choices A. Hypotonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure than that within cells so hemolysis can occur B. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure than that within cells so crenation can occur can occur. C. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure than that within cells so hemolysis can occur. D. Hypotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as that within cells so nothing will happen. 9.The solubility of CaCl2 in water is135g/100 ml. What would be the best method for preparing a 50.0 mL of supersaturated CaCl2 solution? Group of answer choices A. add 72 g of CaCl2 to 50.0 mL of H2O at 100 °C while stirring at room temperature B. add 67 g of CaCl2 to 50.0 mL of H2O at 100 °C while stirring at room temperature…
Some cancers are detectable with a simple blood test (if the cancer cells secrete a chemical that circulates in the blood). A spherical tumor 3 cm in diameter may result in a concentration in the blood of 20 nanograms/milliliter of the chemical to be detected. The most common type of blood test can only detect the presence of this chemical in the blood if the concentration is greater than about 0.1 ng/ml. Another way to check is with an MRI scan, which can detect a tumor down to about a diameter of 1 mm. Which test is more sensitive? (Hint: this is a scaling prolem. Determine the size of a tumor that would produce a blood concentration of just under 0.1 ng/ml, which is undetectable by a blood test. Would an MRI be able to detect it?). Answer: In scaling problems, we need a linear scale factor. 0.1 ng/ml is 200 times smaller than 20 ng/ml, and we want to know what diameter of tumor will produce that amount. Assuming the secretion is based on the volume of the tumor, then we have λ 3 =…

5. Intravenous solutions must be prepared, to that they are isotonic to red blood cells. A0.9% salt solution is isotonic to red blood cells. Keeping this in mind, explain whatwould happen to a red blood cell placed into a solution of 99.3% water and 0.7% salt.Note to obtain full marks you must care both the intercellular environment to theextracellular environment (solute vs solvent).

You have a solution of 0.30 M glucose. Glucose is a non-penetrating molecule. If you place red blood cells into this solution predict what would happen to the red blood cells (stay same, crenated, lysed). Determine: 1. the osmolarity of 0.30 M glucose. Red blood cells are 0.3 Osmolar. 2. apperance/effect on RBC 3. tonicity
