a.
To determine:
Whether water will leave or enter the cucumber’ cells when cucumber is placed in briny solution that makes pickle.
Introduction:
Briny solutions are made up of brine, which is a high-concentration solution of salt in water. Brine naturally occurs on earth’s surface. Brine is used in the production of chlorine, and also used in water softening process. Crenate means the contraction of cell after exposure to hypertonic solution. Hypertonic solutions are those solutions that have high concentration of solute. Hypotonic solutions are those solutions that have lower concentration of solutes than the solution.
b.

- Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardA martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forwardExplain the cleansing action of soap.arrow_forward
- Table sugar (C12H22O11) or urea [(NH2)2CO] can be used by road crews to melt ice on roads, but solutions of CaCl2 are generally used instead. Assuming equal costs per pound of substance, why is CaCl2 used instead of table sugar or urea?arrow_forwardA pharmacist prepares an isotonic saline solution for intravenous infusion. Instead of preparing a 0.15 M solution, a 1.5 M solution is prepared. What would happen to the red blood cells if this erroneously prepared solution is infused?arrow_forward10.

- What is the purpose of the ion exchange resin? A. The ion exchange resin removes Ca2+ and Mg2+ out of hard water to make it soft. B. The ion exchange resin takes out Ca2+ and gets rid of Na which makes the hard water softer. C. The ion exchange resin replaces the Ca2+ and Mg2+ in hard water with Na+ ions so the cleansing properties of the soap are retained. D. The ion exchange resin increases the amount of foam because it made the solution softer instead of hard water and you get more foam with soft water.arrow_forwardMaterials Needed solid I2 solid CUSO4-5H20 food dye solid (NH4)2SO4 heavy metals waste container halogenated waste container non-halogenated waste container semi-micro test tubes and rack regular test tubes and rack squash pipettes acetone cyclohexane propan-2-ol Method Part A: Solubility of ionic and molecular solids 1. Place a small amount (about the size of 1 grain of rice, see picture) of copper sulfate into each of three DRY semi-micro test tubes. Add 20 drops of water to the first test tube and gently flick the test tube with your finger to ensure mixing. 2. Repeat step 1 using acetone in place of water as the solvent in the second test tube. 3. Repeat step 2 replacing acetone with cyclohexane in the third test tube. Hold the test tubes against a white background to compare the solubility of copper sulfate in the three solvents and record your results. Discard these mixtures into the heavy metals waste container in the fume cupboard. Once these test tubes have been emptied you…arrow_forwardA student, trying to standardize NBS solution using a standard Vitamin C solution (220 mg/L), obtained data that was obviously incorrect. They realized their mistake when they noticed the standard Vitamin C solution was dated 8/04. What was their mistake and explain why?arrow_forward
- 100 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4 solution is needed. The stock solution is 6 M. How many milliliters of stock solution is needed to produce this solution?arrow_forward1. What initial volume of a 10x SDS stock solution would you use to make a 1x solution with a final volume of 1ml. What volume of water needs to be added? 2. What initial volume of a 2.5x stock solution of Tween is required to make a 1 ml aqueous solution of 1x concentration? What volume of water needs to be added?arrow_forwardFor each of the electrolytes measured in Suzie’s blood tests, indicate whether the test indicates the level is normal, below normal or above normal. Explain why these imbalances occur in anorexia. Sodium (Na+): 126 mmol/L Potassium (K+): 2.4 mmol/L Calcium (Ca2+): 2.9 mmol/L Glucose: 55 mg/mL Iron (Fe2+): 38 ug/dL (micrograms/deciliter) Protein (Albumin): 3.8 g/dLarrow_forward
