Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) is a solution that simulate the fluid bathing neurons in the brain. It is used in neuroscience when recording from neurons in vitro (in a dish). A solution of ACSF has, among other things, a glucose concentration of 10 mM. Glucose has a molecular weight of about 180 g/mol. 5. How much glucose would you need to weigh out for 500 mL of ACSF?

Solutions Introduced directly into the bloodstream have to be isotonic with blood; that is, they must have the same osmotic pressure as blood. An aqueous NaCl solution has to be 0.90% by mass to be isotonic with blood. What is the molarity of the sodium ions in solution? Take the density of the solution to be 1.00 g/mL.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)
A 12-oz (355-mL) Pepsi contains 38.9 mg caffeine (molar mass = 194.2 g/mol). Assume that the Pepsi, mainly water, has a density of 1.01 g/mL. For such a Pepsi, calculate: (a) its caffeine concentration in ppm; (b) its molarity of caffeine; and (c) the molality of caffeine.
You have read that adding a solute to a solvent can both increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. A friend of yours explains it to you like this: The solute and solvent can be like salt in water. The salt gets in the way of freezing in that it blocks the water molecules from joining together. The salt acts like a strong bond holding the water molecules together so that it is harder to boil. What do you say to your friend?
Consider two solutions at a certain temperature. Solution X has a nonelectrolyte as a solute and an osmotic pressure of 1.8 atm. Solution Y also has a nonelectrolyte as a solute and an osmotic pressure of 4.2 atm. What is the osmotic pressure of a solution made up of equal volumes of solutions X and Y at the same temperature? Assume that the volumes are additive.
Consider two solutions, A and B, separated by an osmotic semipermeable membrane that allows only water to pass through, as shown in the following diagram. Based on each of the following identities for solutions A and B, indicate whether the liquid level in compartment A, with time, will increase, decrease, or not change. a. A = 1.0 M NaCl solution and B = 2.0 M NaCl solution b. A = 5.0%(m/v) glucose solution and B = 4.0%(m/v) glucose solution c. A = 2.0 M KCl solution and B = 2.0 M KNO3 solution d. A = 1.0 M glucose solution and B = 1.0 M NaCl solution
