Question
Chapter 5, Problem 3UTM
Summary Introduction
To explain: How normal saline differs from water.
Introduction: Saline has several uses in surgical procedures. It is used to treat dehydration, clean wounds, and to clear sinuses. It could also be used intravenously or applied topically. It is also used as an irrigation solution in most of the surgical procedures.

A spherical tumor 3 cm in diameter may result in a concentration in the blood of 20 nanograms/milliliter of the chemical to be detected. The most common type of blood test can only detect the presence of this chemical in the blood if the concentration is greater than about 0.1 ng/ml. Another way to check is with an MRI scan, which can detect a tumor down to about a diameter of 1 mm. Which test is more sensitive? (Hint: this is a scaling prolem. Determine the size of a tumor that would produce a blood concentration of just under 0.1 ng/ml, which is undetectable by a blood test. Would an MRI be able to detect it?). Answer: In scaling problems, we need a linear scale factor. 0.1 ng/ml is 200 times smaller than 20 ng/ml, and we want to know what diameter of tumor will produce that amount. Assuming the secretion is based on the volume of the tumor, then we have λ 3 =…arrow_forwardIn less than 10 words, answer the following question.

One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution.

- Topic: Isolation of Crude Ovalbumin from Egg White by Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation(Salting Out) Egg whites contain about 88.5% water and about 10% proteins, from which ovalbumin is the major component. The eggs were cracked open, and the egg whites were separated carefully from the yolk. Stirring of the egg whites was done to break up the membrane. This was followed by filtration through cheesecloth, where a clear filtrate was obtained. About 40.0 mL of the filtered undiluted egg white was measured, and 0.10 mL of 1 M acetic acid was slowly added for every 1.0 mL of egg white with constant stirring. A turbid mixture with few amounts of white precipitate may be expected to form. These may be removed by filtering the mixture using a cheesecloth After filtration, 30.0 mL of the filtrate was obtained, and the solution was brought from 0% to 40% saturation by adding the required amount of powdered ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4 After adding ammonium sulfate, the mixture was allowed to stand…arrow_forward43.
