You are stranded on a lifeboat with several other people in the middle of the ocean. You have run out of clean drinking water and are very thirsty. The others have started to drink the seawater to quench their thirst. Since you’re waiting for rescue (and are a top notch AP Biology student), you decide to solve a couple of water potential problems to determine if drinking sea water is a good idea or not.
a) The majority of dissolved ions in seawater is NaCl, roughly a 0.5M concentration. The ionization constant of NaCl is 2.0. Calculate the solute potential for seawater if you know that the water is 2°C.
b) Your own cells have a 0.15M concentration. Calculate the solute potential for your own cells, knowing that body temperature is 37°C.
c) Using your knowledge about water potential, if you drink the seawater, wat will happen when the seawater comes into contact with your body’s cells? Note: ΨP for animal cells is zero
An important buffer system in the human body involves carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonic acid (H2CO3), and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) as shown: If a person becomes excited and exhales large amounts of CO2, how will his or her body’s pH be affected?

The pieces of potato were initially the same weight, shape, and size. Each potato piece was submerged into a beaker containing one of the sucrose concentrations for 30 minutes. The final weight of the potato was measured and recorded in the table. Which TWO conclusions can be correctly drawn from this data? A In the 0.4 mol/dm3 solution, the sucrose molecules moved across the semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration (the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in the weight of the potato. B In the 1 mol/dm3 solution, the water molecules moved across a semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration(the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in weight of the potato.

- When comparing pH, a solution with a pH of 5 contains 100 times the amount of H+ when compared to a solution with a pH of 7.arrow_forwardA researcher prepares 100 mL of aqueous solution containing 0.1 g of a protein. The researcher then uses an experimental apparatus ,where he notes that, at room temperature (300K) and atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa), distilled water flows naturally into the solution compartment. However, when he applies an extra pressure of 1000 Pa he observes that the flow of distilled water ceases and the system is in balance. Calculate the molar mass of this protein, in kDa (1 Da = 1 g/ mol); Why does the flow of distilled water cease with the application of the pressure of 1000 Pa?
