(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on red blood cell when it is placed in 3 % (w/v) glucose solution should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isotonic Solution:
When two or more substances are mixed together to form a solute and a solvent then the resultant homogenous mixture is called a solution and thus, when solutions have the same osmotic pressure, then they are called isotonic solution.
Hypotonic Solution:
When the osmotic pressure is lower than the body fluids, then the resultant solution is known as hypotonic solution.
Hypertonic Solution:
When the osmotic pressure is higher than the body fluids then the resultant solution is known as hypotonic solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect on red blood cells when it is placed in 0.15 M KCl solution should be determined.

- In the image, the light blue sphere represents a mole of hydrogen atoms, the purple or teal spheres represent a mole of a conjugate base. A light blue sphere by itself is H+. Assuming there is 2.00 L of solution, answer the following: The Ka of the left & right solution is? The pH of the left & right solution is? The acid on the left & right is what kind of acid?arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardWhat spectral features allow you to differentiate the product from the starting material? Use four separate paragraphs for each set of comparisons. You should have one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR. 2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too. 3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of functional group changes.arrow_forwardQuestion 6 What is the major product of the following Diels-Alder reaction? ?
