Interpretation: Themolality of 10.0 mL blood sample and osmotic pressure of creatinine needs to be determined. Its concentration is 1.0 mg/dL in blood with density as 1.025 g/mL at 25°C.
Concept Introduction: Colligative properties are the properties of solution which depend on the number of particles present in the solution. Some common examples of colligative properties are depression in freezing point, elevation in boiling point, osmotic pressure, lowering in vapor pressure etc. The number of particles is shown with the help of Van’t Hoff factor ‘i’.
The mathematical expression for osmotic pressure is as given below:

- 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_forwardWill red blood cells crenate, hemolyze, or remain unaffected when placed in each of the solutions in Problem 8-101?arrow_forward6-111 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_forward

What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forwardInsulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forwardThe osmotic pressure of human blood is 7.6 atm at 37 C. What mass of glucose, C6H12O6, is required to make 1.00 L of aqueous solution for intravenous feeding if the solution must have the same osmotic pressure as blood at body temperature, 37 C?arrow_forward

- An aqueous solution containing 10.0 g of starch per liter has an osmotic pressure of 3.8 mm Hg at 25 C. (a) What is the average molar mass of starch? (The result is an average because not all starch molecules are identical.) (b) What is the freezing point of the solution?
