Chapter 17, Problem 72E
Erythrocytes are red blood cells containing hemoglobin.In a saline solution they shrivel when the salt concentrationis high and swell when the salt concentration is low.In a 25°C aqueous solution of NaCl, whose freezingpoint is 20.406°C, erythrocytes neither swell nor shrink.If we want to calculate the osmotic pressure of the solutioninside the erythrocytes under these conditions, whatdo we need to assume? Why? Estimate how good (orpoor) of an assumption this is. Make this assumptionand calculate the osmotic pressure of the solution insidethe erythrocytes.
