Atenolol, a high blood pressure medicine, can be given orally as a 50.0-mg tablet or administered intravenous (IV) as a solution, 8.0 (w/v)%. What volume (mL) of a 8.0 (w/v)% solution of atenolol need to be administered in order to give a patient a 50.0-mg dose

Assume that you have identical volumes of two liquids; the first is 0.3 M glucose solution and the second is 0.1 M glucose solution. Based on the diagrams in Problem 8-85, where red is the 0.3 M glucose and blue is the 0.1 M glucose, which one of the diagrams best represents the two liquids after they have stood uncovered for a few days and some evaporation of liquid has occurred?

A 12-oz (355-mL) Pepsi contains 38.9 mg caffeine (molar mass = 194.2 g/mol). Assume that the Pepsi, mainly water, has a density of 1.01 g/mL. For such a Pepsi, calculate: (a) its caffeine concentration in ppm; (b) its molarity of caffeine; and (c) the molality of caffeine.

Specifications for lactated Ringers solution, which is used for intravenous (IV) injections, are as follows to reach 100. mL of solution: 285315 mg Na+ 14.117.3 mg K+ 4.9Q.O mg Ca2+ 368408 mg Cl 231261 mg lactate, C3H5O3 a. Specify the amount of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 2H2O, and NaC3H5O3 needed to prepare 100. mL lactated Ringers solution. b. What is the range of the osmotic pressure of the solution at 37C, given the preceding specifications?

You have read that adding a solute to a solvent can both increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. A friend of yours explains it to you like this: The solute and solvent can be like salt in water. The salt gets in the way of freezing in that it blocks the water molecules from joining together. The salt acts like a strong bond holding the water molecules together so that it is harder to boil. What do you say to your friend?

6-74 An osmotic semipermeable membrane that allows only water to pass separates two compartments, A and B. Compartment A contains 0.9% NaCI, and compartment B contains 3% glycerol C3H8O3. (a) In which compartment will the level of solution rise? (b) Which compartment (if either) has the higher osmotic pressure?

In a police forensics lab, you examine a package that may contain heroin. However, you find the white powder is not pure heroin but a mixture of heroin (C12H23O5N) and lactose (C12H22O11). To determine the amount of heroin in the mixture, you dissolve 1.00 g of the white powdery mixture in water in a 100.0-mL volumetric flask. You find that the solution has an osmotic pressure of 539 mm Hg at 25 C. What is the composition of the mixture?

A pharmacist prepares an isotonic saline solution for intravenous infusion. Instead of preparing a 0.15 M solution, a 1.5 M solution is prepared. What would happen to the red blood cells if this erroneously prepared solution is infused?

You have two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. One contains 5.85 g of NaCl dissolved in 100. mL of solution, and the other contains 8.88 g of KNO3 dissolved in 100. mL of solution. In which direction will solvent flow: from the NaCl solution to the KNO3 solution, or from KNO3 to NaCl? Explain briefly.

Consider three test tubes. Tube A has pure water. Tube B has an aqueous 1.0 m solution of ethanol, C2H5OH. Tube C has an aqueous 1.0 m solution of NaCl. Which of the following statements are true? (Assume that for these solutions 1.0m=1.0M.) (a) The vapor pressure of the solvent over tube A is greater than the solvent pressure over tube B. (b) The freezing point of the solution in tube B is higher than the freezing point of the solution in tube A. (c) The freezing point of the solution in tube B is higher than the freezing point of the solution in tube C. (d) The boiling point of the solution in tube B is higher than the boiling point of the solution in tube C. (e) The osmotic pressure of the solution in tube B is greater than the osmotic pressure of the solution in tube C.
