Calculate the effective quantity (g) of sodium chloride related to tonicity in 100 mL of an intravenous fluid labeled "5% dextrose in 0.45% sodium chloride," and indicate whether the solution is isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic.
The potato blocks used in this experiment are rich in starch molecules. Iodine potassium iodide (IKI) is a starch indicator that forms a blue-black complex in the presence of starch. What does the width of the black of the potato cube represent in the context of diffusion? How does the width of the black iodide starch complex of each potato block compare to the others? Why?

The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse adistance of x cm is given byt = x2/2D where t is the time in seconds and D is the diffusioncoefficient. Given that the diffusion coefficient ofglucose is 5.7 × 10−7cm2/s, calculate the time it wouldtake for a glucose molecule to diffuse 10 μm, which isroughly the size of a cell.
If the osmotic pressure of a 7.96×10-2-M aqueous solution of Fe2(SO4)3 was found to be 8.71 atm at 20°C, what would be the "observed" van't Hoff factor? Use the above van't Hoff factor to predict the freezing point of this solution.Note that the corresponding molality would be 8.25×10-2 m, given that the density of the solution is 0.997 g/cm3. °C Use the above van't Hoff factor to predict by how many degrees the boiling point of this solution will be elevated above that for pure water.

The isoelectric point of eIF4a is 5.02. Students are given a sample of cell lysate containing eIF4A at pH 7.4. They are also provided with two buffers of pH 7.4 to use for ion exchange chromatography. One buffer has a very high salt concentration (1 M), the other has a low salt concentration (0.1 M). Mariela decides to use an anion exchange column, while Ashok chooses a cation exchange column. Who made the better decision? Provide a detailed explanation of why one student will end up with a purer sample of eIF4A. Which buffer will you use while washing away impurities (high or low salt), and which would you use to remove eIF4A from the column? Explain your choice.
