To determine:
If the condition outside the cell is 5%
Introduction:
Osmosis is a specialized case of diffusion that involves the passive transport of water (solvent). In osmosis, water moves through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 60C Table salt in water with P = 1 atm and T = 50C d. Table sugar in water with P = 2 atm and T = 40C Table sugar in water with P = 1 atm and T = 70Carrow_forwardThe freezing point of a 0.21 m aqueous solution of H2SO4 is -0.796C. (a) What is i? (b) Is the solution made up primarily of (i) H2SO4 molecules only? (ii) H+ and HSO4- ions? (iii) 2H+ and 1SO42- ions?arrow_forwardThe following table lists the concentrations of the principal ions in seawater: (a) Calculate the freezing point of seawater. (b) Calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25 C. What is the minimum pressure needed to purify seawater by reverse osmosis?arrow_forward

The bottle contains exactly 5.00 mL. How much water must the student add to make the concentration of albumin become 0.125%?arrow_forwardA compound has a solubility in water of 250 mg/L at 25C. Should this compound be characterized as a soluble or insoluble compound at 25C?arrow_forward
- 6-55 According to the label on a piece of cheese, one serving of 28 g provides the following daily values: 2% of Fe, 6% of Ca, and 6% of vitamin A. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of each of these nutrients are as follows: 15 mg Fe, 1200 mg Ca, and 0.800 mg vitamin A. Calculate the concentrations of each of these nutrients in the cheese in ppm.arrow_forward6-54 An industrial wastewater contains 3.60 ppb cadmium Cd2+. How many mg of Cd2+ could be recovered from a ton (1016 kg) of this wastewater?arrow_forward6-74 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?arrow_forward
- 6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.arrow_forward6-96 We know that a 0.89% saline (NaCI) solution is isotonic with blood. In a real-life emergency, you run out of physiological saline solution and have only KCI as a salt and distilled water. Would it be acceptable to make a 0.89% aqueous KCI solution and use it for intravenous infusion?
