Blood and blood cells contain certain amounts of various ions, meaning that distilled water would be highly hypotonic in comparison. The osmotic pressure would cause the water to enter red blood cells, causing them to swell and burst.

Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure?

Proteins given intravenously can increase a patient's blood volume by attracting water into the blood vessels due to their osmotic effect. This increase in blood volume can lead to a subsequent rise in blood pressure, although the effect may vary depending on the type and amount of protein administered. Close monitoring is necessary to prevent any adverse effects such as fluid overload.


What is distilled water measured?

Distilled water is measuared with its volume in litre or mililitrte.


Can you dilute haircolor developer with water?

It must be distilled water but yes. You can combine equal parts distilled water and 40 volume to get 20 volume developer.


How does distilled water effect osmosis?

Distilled water has a lower concentration of solutes compared to a solution, causing it to be hypotonic. When placed across a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a higher solute concentration, water will move through osmosis from the distilled water side to the solution side. This will result in an increase in the volume of the solution as water moves into it.


Can you make 10 volume developer out of 20?

To make 10 volume developer from 20 volume developer, you can mix equal parts of 20 volume developer and distilled water. For example, mix 1 part of 20 volume developer with 1 part distilled water to create 10 volume developer.


Can you make 30 volume developer out of 40 volume?

No, you cannot make 30 volume developer out of 40 volume developer. You would need to dilute the 40 volume developer with either distilled water or a lower volume developer to achieve the desired 30 volume strength.


Is volume conserved in a reaction between distilled water and ethanol?

Yes, volume is typically conserved in a reaction between distilled water and ethanol. The total volume of the reactants should equal the total volume of the products in a chemical reaction, assuming no gases are produced or consumed.


What specific fluids and medications can be administered via the IO route?

Anaesthetic drugs and high-volume variants like sodium bicarbonate can be administered via the IO route.


Distilled liquors contain how much alcohol by volume?

It varies widely. The average is 40% though.


Is volume conserved in a reaction between distilled water and acetone?

Yes, in a chemical reaction between distilled water and acetone, the total volume of the reactants remains the same. This is because matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total volume remains constant.


How do you make 1N HCL from 1N HCL?

Take specific volume of 3N solution and increase the volume three times by adding distilled water.


Is mineral water heavier or lighter than distilled water at STP?

Mineral water will be more dense than distilled water. The disolved material adds mass, but does not increase the volume.
