Water is hypotonic compared to the serum/blood. Putting a hypotonic solution in there will cause dilution and may draw solutes out from the cells to compensate. This can kill a person. Even a small amount of water must be rendered isotonic prior to IV use.
If distilled water is tested with Benedict's solution, there should be no reaction or color change. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose, but distilled water should not contain any sugars to react with the solution.
No, distilled water is distilled water.
Distilled water is used as a substitute for a hypotonic solution because it lacks solutes and has a lower concentration of particles compared to the intracellular environment of cells. This difference in concentration creates a concentration gradient that causes water to move into cells by osmosis, making distilled water hypotonic and able to potentially cause cell lysis.
Distilled water is added to an acid solution to dilute it, making it less concentrated and safer to work with. It helps in controlling the pH levels and prevents the solution from becoming too corrosive or reactive.
Water bath is used for uniform and steady heat transferring by heating water in it. If distilled water is not used during heating process all the salts present in normal water will settle down on the surface causing scaling and decreasing heat transfer. Distill water is free from salts and compound which form scale like calcium carbonate etc. Water-bath with distilled water will work with efficiency and low maintenance.
To prepare a soap solution for testing water hardness, dissolve a known quantity of soap in distilled water to create a concentrated soap solution. Next, dilute this concentrated solution with distilled water until it forms a lather when shaken vigorously. This diluted solution can then be used to test the hardness of water by observing how easily a lather forms when mixed with a sample of the water being tested.
Distilled water is the closest one can get with conventional methods to pure water, which would be ideal to create solutions. Tap water is typically not used because it contains minerals and other foreign materials that can affect the solution itself, and alter results.
If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.
A hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, would most likely be used to return the red onion cell to its original condition. This solution would cause the cell to take in water and swell up, potentially reversing any plasmolysis that occurred.
Distilled water can be used in school labs to clean apparatus before switching between chemicals. Like measuring pH balance of different liquids you would use a pH indicator and when switching between the liquid you would clean the equipment with distilled water before dipping it into another solution
Electrolyte is 35% Sulfuric acid and 65% distilled water. You can add distilled water to a battery that is low, but distilled water alone cannot be used as an electrolyte.
Distilled water is used in rinsing filter paper because it is free of impurities and contaminants. This ensures that the filter paper is not contaminated during the rinsing process, which could affect the results of the filtration. Using distilled water helps maintain the purity and integrity of the filter paper and the substances being filtered.
