What is the value for the w (water potential) of a cell when placed
in a hypertonic saline solution of 0.40 M under standard
atmospheric pressure (1.0 MPa) and at a room temperature of 25°
C? [Assume that the cell and solution , (solute potential) are at
equilibrium. Use 0.08314L bar K mol as the gas constant (R)]
A new 850 cm^2 membrane is being tested for use in a hemodialysis device. During testing, a model fluid mixture is used that contains solutes with average radii of 1 nm. In one test, the concentration of the filtrate is found to be 2.17 g/L, while the concentration on the feed-side surface is 8.52 g/L.
Prior experimentation showed that the mass transfer coefficient in the device was approximately 9 × 10-4 cm/s.
A) If the total filtration flow rate is measured to be 0.56 cm^3/s, what is the solute concentration in the feed solution?
B) Explain how you could determine the average membrane pore radius for this membrane using this information.
The mixing of liquids is critical in microfluidic analytical systems and is often taking place in
Y-shaped junctions as seen in Figure Q4b. The inlets are 50 μm wide and 50 µm high, and
the outlet is 50 μm wide and 50 μm high. The aim of the device is to analyse IgG with a
diffusion coefficient of 4-10 cm²-s¹. Determine the shortest length of the channel to ensure
complete mixing when the flowrate in each of the inlet channels is 1 µl/h. [4]

- Consider a uniport system where a carrier protein transports an uncharged substance A across a cell membrane. Suppose that at a certain ratio of [A]inside to [A]outside, the AG for the transport of substance A from outside the cell to the inside, Aoutside → Ainside, is -12.1 kJ/mol at 25°C. What is the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside? [A]inside [A]outside || 656275.63 Incorrect Choose the true statement about the transport of A under the conditions described. Increasing [A]outside will cause AG for movement of Aoutside to Ainside to become a smaller negative number. Decreasing the concentration of the uniport protein in the membrane will cause AG to become a larger negative number.arrow_forwardWe have isolated a mixture of 2 protein of the same molecular weight but different isoelectric points.
