Chapter 13, Problem 134AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of blood to prevent it from freezingis to be determined and a mechanism for the action of proteins is to be suggested.

Concept introduction:

Diffusion is the spontaneous mixing of solute and solvent particles to form a homogeneous mixture.

Concentration is related to depression in freezing point by the following formula: $\Delta T_{\text{f}}=K_{\text{f}}\times m$

Here, $\Delta T_{\text{f}}$ is thedepression in freezing point, $K_{\text{f}}$ is the molal depression constant, and $m$ is the molality of the solution.
