Interpretation:
The given compounds are to be categorized as suspension or colloidal solution.
Concept Introduction:
Suspensions are the mixtures in which the size of particles is large and the particles are able to settle down at the bottom.
Colloids are non-crystalline homogeneous substances which consist of large particles of a substance that is dispersed throughout another substance. The size of colloidal particles lies between the range of
Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by suspended particles of a fluid, when a beam of light is passed through the fluid. This scattering of light can be confirmed by passing a beam of light, with the help of a laser pointer, through the fluid.

- 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_forwardDistinguish between dispersion methods and condensation methods for preparing colloidal systems.arrow_forwardHow many grams of lactose must be added to 655 g of water in order to prepare each of the following percent-by-mass concentrations of aqueous lactose solution? a. 0.50% b. 2.00% c. 10.0% d. 25.0%arrow_forward
- Assume that 30 L of maple sap yields one kilogram of maple syrup (66% sucrose, C12H22O11). What is the molality of the sucrose solution after one fourth of the water content of the sap has been removed?arrow_forwardWhen two beakers containing different concentrations of a solute in water are placed in a closed cabinet for a time, one beaker gains solvent and the other loses it, so that the concentrations of solute in the two beakers become equal. Explain what is happening.arrow_forwardA patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.arrow_forward
- Juice (d=1.0g/mL) from freshly harvested grapes has about 24% sucrose by mass. What is the molality of sucrose, C12H22O11, in the grape juice after 25% (by mass) of the water content has been removed? Assume a volume of 15.0 L.arrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forwardVodka is advertised to be 80 proof. That means that the ethanol (C2H5OH) concentration is 40% (two significant figures) by volume. Assuming the density of the solution to be 1.0 g/mL, what is the freezing point of vodka? The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL.arrow_forward
