Homework: A student is trying to create a solution that is isotonic to the cells being cultured. It is known that the concentration of the cytosol in the cells is 1 g/mL. The student has 2 liters of water to create a nutrient solution. Which of the following would create an isotonic solution for the cells? A. Adding 2 grams of solute B. Adding 1000 grams of solute C. Adding 2000 grams of solute

Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.
You have read that adding a solute to a solvent can both increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. A friend of yours explains it to you like this: The solute and solvent can be like salt in water. The salt gets in the way of freezing in that it blocks the water molecules from joining together. The salt acts like a strong bond holding the water molecules together so that it is harder to boil. What do you say to your friend?
In 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?
A 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?
Cooking A cook prepares a solution for boiling by adding12.5 g of NaCl to a pot holding 0.750 L of water. Atwhat temperature should the solution in the pot boil?Use Table 14.5 for needed data.

You and your friend are each drinking cola from separate 2-L bottles. Both colas are equally carbonated. You are able to drink 1 L of cola, but your friend can drink only about half a liter. You each close the bottles and place them in the refrigerator. The next day when you each go to get the colas, whose will be more carbonated and why?
In your own words, explain (a) why seawater has a lower freezing point than fresh water. (b) why one often obtains a grainy product when making fudge (a supersaturated sugar solution). (c) why the concentrations of solutions used for intravenous feeding must be controlled carefully. (d) why fish in a lake (and fishermen) seek deep, shaded places during summer afternoons. (e) why champagne fizzes in a glass.
Assume that you have identical volumes of two liquids; the first is 0.3 M glucose solution and the second is 0.1 M glucose solution. Based on the diagrams in Problem 8-85, where red is the 0.3 M glucose and blue is the 0.1 M glucose, which one of the diagrams best represents the two liquids after they have stood uncovered for a few days and some evaporation of liquid has occurred?
Equal numbers of moles of two soluble, substances, substance A and substance B, are placed into separate 1.0-L samples of water. a The water samples are cooled. Sample A freezes at 0.50C, and Sample B freezes at l.00C. Explain how the solutions can have different freezing points. b You pour 500 mL of the solution containing substance B into a different beaker. How would the freezing point of this 500-mL portion of solution B compare to the freezing point of the 1.0-L sample of solution A? c Calculate the molality of the solutions of A and B. Assume that i = 1 for substance A. d If you were to add an additional 1.0 kg of water to solution B, what would be the new freezing point of the solution? Try to write an answer to this question without using a mathematical formula. e What concentration (molality) of substances A and B would result in both solutions having a freezing point of 0.25C? f Compare the boiling points, vapor pressure, and osmotic pressure of the original solutions of A and B. Dont perform the calculations; just state which is the greater in each ease.
