Drinking too much plain water in a short period of time can result in water intoxication. As a result, blood plasma will become hypotonic. What effect do you think this would have on blood cells? Cells will be crenated. Cells may be lysed. Cells will be plasmolyzed. Cells will not change.

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.)

Identify the green substance on the outer layer of an overcooked egg's yolk and create an equation to explain its creation. The unattractive "green yolk" can be avoided or reduced if the overcooked egg is promptly washed with cold water after being taken from the boiling water. How does this activity get rid of the green stuff?
If you were stranded in an island, you would not drink sea water to quench your thirst because A. One cup of seawater contains enough sodium to poison you B. Seawater is isotonic to your body fluids and you will absorb too much water C. Seawater is hypotonic to your body tissues and drinking it will cause you to lose water (dehydration) D.

Materials Needed solid I2 solid CUSO4-5H20 food dye solid (NH4)2SO4 heavy metals waste container halogenated waste container non-halogenated waste container semi-micro test tubes and rack regular test tubes and rack squash pipettes acetone cyclohexane propan-2-ol Method Part A: Solubility of ionic and molecular solids 1. Place a small amount (about the size of 1 grain of rice, see picture) of copper sulfate into each of three DRY semi-micro test tubes. Add 20 drops of water to the first test tube and gently flick the test tube with your finger to ensure mixing. 2. Repeat step 1 using acetone in place of water as the solvent in the second test tube. 3. Repeat step 2 replacing acetone with cyclohexane in the third test tube. Hold the test tubes against a white background to compare the solubility of copper sulfate in the three solvents and record your results. Discard these mixtures into the heavy metals waste container in the fume cupboard. Once these test tubes have been emptied you…

When a carbonated beverage is heated bubbles of gas become visible. What does this mean? The carbon dioxide gas is escaping the water. Meaning the solubility is increasing. The carbon dioxide gas is escaping the water. Meaning the solubility is decreasing. There is the same amount of carbon dioxide in the water as there was before it was heated, it is just more visible with heat. The carbon dioxide gas is increasing in the water. Meaning the solubility is increasing. The carbon dioxide gas is increasing in the water. Meaning the solubility is decreasing. More than one of these is correct.
