(a)
Interpretation:
The red blood cells will whether swell, remain the same size or shrink when placed in given solution has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that is needed to stop osmosis. Osmotic pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution.
Hypotonic solution is the solution which has an osmotic pressure less than that in cells. A hypotonic solution causes cells to burst.
Hypertonic solution is the solution which has an osmotic pressure higher than that in cells. A hypotonic solution causes cells to shrink.
Isotonic solution is the solution which has an osmotic pressure equal to that in cells. An isotonic solution has no effect on cell size.

- Will red blood cells crenate, hemolyze, or remain unaffected when placed in each of the solutions in Problem 8-107?arrow_forward6-113 List the following aqueous solutions in order of decreasing freezing point: 0.040 M glycerin (C3H8O3) 0.025 M NaBr, and 0.015 M AI(NO3)3 Assume complete dissociation of any salts.arrow_forward6-96 We know that a 0.89% saline (NaCI) solution is isotonic with blood. In a real-life emergency, you run out of physiological saline solution and have only KCI as a salt and distilled water. Would it be acceptable to make a 0.89% aqueous KCI solution and use it for intravenous infusion? Explain.arrow_forward
- Using Table 8-2, indicate whether each of the following ionic compounds is soluble or insoluble in water. a. sodium sulfate b. ammonium chloride c. barium phosphate d. zinc nitratearrow_forward6-49 A student has a stock solution of 30.0% w/v H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Describe how the student should prepare 250 mL of a 0.25% w/v H2O2 solution.arrow_forward6-60 Predict which of these covalent compounds is soluble in water. (a) C2H6 (b) CH3OH (c) HF (d) NH3 (e) CCI4arrow_forward
- 6-66 What gives nanotubes their unique optical and electrical properties?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_forwardThe freezing point of a 0.21 m aqueous solution of H2SO4 is -0.796C. (a) What is i?
