Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?
hypotonic means dilute, hypertonic means concentrated. If celery becomes turgid in the fresh water then it is hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to sodium solution.
Is sodium hydroxide unknown solution?
Sodium hydroxide is not an unknown solution.
When cells are submerged in a hypertonic solution the salt concentration inside the cells is than the salt concentration outside the cells. This causes water to the cells.?
As water molecules are smaller than either Sodium or Chlorine molecules, osmosis is favoured in their leaving the cell into the salt solution. Therefore a living cell shrinks in salt solution.
What is the osmolarity of a 0.1 mole sodium chloride solution?
One mole solution of sodium chloride makes 1000 millimole. So 0.1 mole solution of sodium chloride will have 100 millimole in the solution.
Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
What concentration of a sodium chloride solution would be hypertonic?
9.000%
Does a hyper tonic solution contain salt?
Hypertonic solutions contain sodium chloride?
What hypertonic means to illustrate equilibrium?
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.
Why do you give hypertonic saline slowly to a patient that is hyponaetremic?
Hypertonic saline solution is given slowly to a patient that is hyponaetremic because it raises their sodium levels. Raising the sodium levels too quickly could cause central pontine myelinolysis.
What terms describes a solution with a higher concentration of dissolved substances relative to another solution?
You are probably looking for "dilute" but that is wrong, dilute is relative. A dilute solution of table salt (sodium chloride) can be a very different concentration to a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
How does sodium chloride dissolve in water?
The particles from the sodium chloride mix together with the water particles. This then makes a solution.
How is the visibility of particles in salt water solution?
The ions of sodium chloride are not visible.
What solution is hypertonic?
A solution on which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resided on the solutionIn healthcare you will often hear the words iso- and hypertonic solutions. A third option the "hypotonic" solution is also a possbility.As many people will know, the human blood contains both sodium, potassium, chloride salts. In healthcare a solution will be hypertonic when the amount of salts in it exceeds that of human blood. It will be isotonic (iso meaning "same") when the amount of salts are comparable to that of blood. Finally the solution will be considered hypotonic when the amount of salts present in the solution is less than that of blood.Hypertonic: More concentratedIsotonic: Just as concentratedHypotonic: Less as concentrated.
Explain why cucumber slices spring water when salt is added to it in terms of osmosis?
The salt creates the equivalent of a hypertonic solution outside the cucumber's cells. A hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solute (think of solute as particles, and in this case, sodium and chloride atoms from the table salt) is greater than the solution it is being compared to--in this case, the liquid inside the cucumber cells. In order to equilibrate osmotically, water diffuses out of the cucumber's cells in the direction of the high salt "solution." The process is used, in effect, to "dry out" the cucumber so that recipes that use these slices won't be soggy.
Cells in a hypertonic solution?
The cell has electrolytes (sodium) in smaller number than outside. Through simple diffusion or in this case osmosis, water will move out of the cell in an effort to balance the numbers inside with those on the outside. The cell will shrink as a result.
