Chapter 11, Problem 11.106AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The material dissolved in the aqueous solution, in which dialysis tube is immersed is to be stated. The comparison of concentrations of ions in the immersion fluid to the fluid in blood is to be explained.

Concept introduction: The blood contains lots of impurity and excess water. Our kidney plays a cleansing process to remove waste materials and excess water from our body through urine and sweat.

Dialysis is a type of cleansing process of our body or the cleansing process for the fluids of our body. Actually this role is played by kidney but when it fails or weakens then this role is played by the process of dialysis. In this process an external machine is used to remove the waste materials and the excess water from blood.

To determine: The material dissolved in the aqueous solution, in which dialysis tube is immersed; the explanation for the comparison of concentrations of ions in the immersion fluid to the fluid in blood.
