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.
To determine:
Whether cucumber will swell or crenate, when cucumber is placed in briny solution that makes pickle

c.
To determine:
Whether the salt water is hypertonic or hypotonic, when cucumber is placed in briny solution that makes pickle.

- A 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_forwardStarch 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 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_forward
- Insulin is a protein important in the metabolism of sugar. Its molar mass can be determined by means of an osmotic pressure experiment. A 50.0-mg sample of insulin was dissolved in enough water to make 100. mL of solution. This solution was determined to have an osmotic pressure of 21.8 mm H2O. What is the molar mass of insulin? (Hint: The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.)arrow_forwardExplain the terms isotonic solution, crenation, and hemolysis.arrow_forward
