a.
To determine:
The change in red blood cell when it is placed in
Introduction:
Osmosis is a spontaneous flow of solvent from dilute solution into concentrated solution through semi-permeable membrane.
Isotonic solution are those which exerts same osmotic pressure. Hypotonic solution are those which has a lower osmotic pressure than red blood cells and causes flow of water into red blood cells. Hypertonic solution are those which has a higher osmotic pressure than red blood cells and causes shrinking of cell.
b.
To determine:
The change in red blood cell when it is placed in distilled water.

- Insulin is a protein important in the metabolism of sugar. Its molar mass can be determined by means of an osmotic pressure experiment. A 50.0-mg sample of insulin was dissolved in enough water to make 100. mL of solution. This solution was determined to have an osmotic pressure of 21.8 mm H2O. What is the molar mass of insulin? (Hint: The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.)arrow_forwardHow many grams of glucose must be added to 275 g of water in order to prepare each of the following percent-by-mass concentrations of aqueous glucose solution? a. 1.30% b. 5.00% c. 20.0% d. 31.0%arrow_forwardTable sugar (C12H22O11) or urea [(NH2)2CO] can be used by road crews to melt ice on roads, but solutions of CaCl2 are generally used instead. Assuming equal costs per pound of substance, why is CaCl2 used instead of table sugar or urea?arrow_forward
- Will red blood cells swell, remain the same size, or shrink when placed in each of the solutions in Problem 8-101? Classify each of the following solutions as hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic relative to red blood cells? a. 0.92%(m/v) glucose solution b. 0.92%(m/v) NaCl solution c. 2.3%(m/v) glucose solution d. 5.0%(m/v) NaCl solutionarrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardConcentrated hydrochloric acid contains 1.00 mol HCl dissolved in 3.31 mol H2O. What is the mole fraction of HCl in concentrated hydrochloric acid? What is the molal concentration of HCl?arrow_forward
- A martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forwardAt 0 C and 1.00 atm, as much as 0.70 g of O2 can dissolve in 1 L of water. At 0 C and 4.00 atm, how many grams of O2 dissolve in 1 L of water?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
- If you prepared a saturated aqueous solution of potassiumchloride at 25°C and then heated it to 50°C, wouldyou describe the solution as unsaturated, saturated, orsupersaturated? Explain.arrow_forwardIn 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?arrow_forwardCalculate the percent by mass of solute in each of the following solutions. 5.00 g of calcium chloride dissolved in 95.0 g of water 1.00 g of calcium chloride dissolved in 19.0 g of water 15.0 g of calcium chloride dissolved in 285 g of water 2.00 mg of calcium chloride dissolved in 0.0380 g of waterarrow_forward
