What will happen if a dialysis bag of sucrose solution is put into distilled water?

You'd kill the patient in either case.
I read the instructions on the dialysis machine Fresenius sells for home use. The bag is supposed to contain saline. (They also use reverse-osmosis water, but that comes in through a different port.) Dialysis is a very complex balancing act, and NaCl level in the dialysis solution is a big part of the balance. If it gets too low, it'll suck the salt out of the patient's blood and kill him quick.
But twenty percent concentration? Normal Saline for Injection is only 0.9 percent, seawater is 3.5 percent...the brine you use to make pickles isn't even 20 percent. If you put that much salt in the solution, it would migrate across the membranes, raise the guy's sodium concentration and, once again, kill him quick.

What would happen if a dialysis patients blood was exposed to plain water instead of dialysis solution?
you will probably die but im not sure
What happen when the distilled water is test by Benedict's solution?
Just plain old distilled water? You'll get dilute Benedict's. Benedict's looks for sugar, and if there isn't any it won't react.
Why do you add distilled water to acid solution?
Distilled water is added to an acid solution to dilute the acidity and reduce its concentration, making it safer to handle. This addition helps prevent rapid and potentially dangerous reactions that could occur if water with impurities or ions were used. The process of dilution with distilled water allows for controlled and safer handling of the acid, reducing the risk of splattering or releasing heat, which could happen if water with impurities were used instead.
What happen when calcium formate is distilled?
On dry distillation it produces Formaldehyde and Calcium carbonate.
What happen to a solution when you add a buffer?
The pH lowers. Just as with any other solution.

What would happen to the mass of each bag in this experiment if all the bags were placed in 0.4 M sucrose instead of distilled water?
What experiment?
What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
no
What would happen if distilled water were substituted for buffer in either the chamber solution?
distilled water does not contain ions, without ions it can not produce and electrical charge. In other words DISTILLED WATER does not conduct electricity.

What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
get larger and then smaller again
What will happen when a gram positive bacterium is placed in a aqueous solution of lysozyme and 10 percent sucrose?
The cell of Gram+ bacteria will break down against lysozyme and the cell will be injured but when it placed in sucrose the nutrient will be absorbed by the surface
What will happen when cells are in contact with 0.9 percent NaCl solution?
If the Royal Bank of Canada was replaced with a 0.2 percent sucrose solution the Canadian economy would collapse.
What If a system of linear equations has no solution?
It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell
When the half of water in 1m soln of sucrose is boiled off what happen the conc of sucrose?
it becomes 2m
What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.
