Question
Chapter 33, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why a person dehydrate much faster when drink seawater then when someone drinks fresh water.
Concept introduction:
Osmosis is a process, which is used by several chemical and biological processes in order to attain equilibrium in the ionic concentration. The process involves movement of water from a higher concentration of the ions to the lower concentration of ions through a semipermeable membrane.

Explain why a slight increase in blood pH may occur
following a heavy meal. The elevated pH of blood,
especially in the veins that carry blood away from the
stomach, is called the post enteric alkaline tide.

- Gout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—is caused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.
