a.
To determine:
The change in red blood cell when it is placed in
Introduction:
Osmosis is a spontaneous flow of solvent from dilute solution into concentrated solution through semi-permeable membrane.
Isotonic solution are those which exerts same osmotic pressure. Hypotonic solution are those which has a lower osmotic pressure than red blood cells and causes flow of water into red blood cells. Hypertonic solution are those which has a higher osmotic pressure than red blood cells and causes shrinking of cell.
b.
To determine:
The change in red blood cell when it is placed in distilled water.

- 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_forwardTable 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_forwardInsulin 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_forward
- 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_forwardHow many grams of glucose must be added to 275 g of water in order to prepare each of the following percent-by-mass concentrations of aqueous glucose solution? a. 1.30% b. 5.00% c. 20.0% d. 31.0%arrow_forwardIn your own words, explain why (a) seawater has a lower freezing point than fresh water. (b) salt is added to the ice in an ice cream maker to freeze the ice cream faster.arrow_forward
