What is the term for the pressure that develpes when two solutions of varying conceration are separated by a membrane?
Osmotic pressure... you must be in my nutrition class :-)
How do you determine Iso-osmotic concentration?
Iso-osmotic concentration refers to a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as another solution. To determine iso-osmotic concentration, you can use colligative properties such as freezing point depression or osmotic pressure measurements. By comparing these values between solutions, you can identify when two solutions have equal osmotic pressure and thus have iso-osmotic concentration.
What causes osmotic pressure to develop in a cell?
Osmotic pressure occurs when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Often the solute cannot move through the membrane, so there is pressure for the water to move from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, to dilute it.
What is produced when two solutions react?
When two solutions react, a chemical reaction occurs that may produce a precipitate (solid), a gas, or a color change. The products will depend on the specific reactants involved in the reaction and their respective chemical properties.
Why does the level of a more concentrated solution rise when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane and when does it stop rising?
The more concentrated solution is hypertonic and osmotic pressure (a hydrostatic force whose sole purpose in life is to make concentrations equal) tends to move solvent into the more concentrated solution. It will stop rising when either a) the solution concentrations are the same on both sides of the membrane, or b) when the osmotic pressure becomes equal to the ambient air pressure.

What two solutions are isotonic?
Two isotonic solutions are two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure. This term is generally used referring to solutions in a cell or body fluid.

How do you identify if two solutions are isotonic?
Two solutions are isotonic if they have the same osmotic pressure or concentration of solutes. This means that when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there is no net movement of water across the membrane. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes relative to each other.
How does osmotic potential affect diffusion?
Osmotic potential influences the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. When there is a difference in osmotic potential between two solutions separated by a membrane, water will move from the area of lower solute concentration (higher water potential) to the area of higher solute concentration (lower water potential) to balance the concentrations. This affects the rate and direction of diffusion of solutes in and out of cells.
What causes osmotic pressure to develop in a cell?
Osmotic pressure occurs when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Often the solute cannot move through the membrane, so there is pressure for the water to move from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, to dilute it.
What pressure results from osmosis?
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that develops when water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to achieve equilibrium in solute concentrations between two solutions. It is dependent on the concentration of solute particles in the solution and temperature.
What does hypertonic mean in science?
1. Pathology Having extreme muscular or arterial tension. 2. Chemistry Having the higher osmotic pressure of two solutions.
What solutions will give rise to a greater osmotic pressure at equilibrium 3.60 g of nacl in 351.2 ml water or 50.0 g of glucose in 400.8 ml water for NaCl mw 58.5 amu for glucose m?
The greater osmotic pressure will be observed with 3.60 g of NaCl in 351.2 ml of water. This is because NaCl dissociates into two ions (Na+ and Cl-) in solution, contributing more particles that will contribute to osmotic pressure, compared to glucose which does not dissociate.
When the osmotic pressure is the same on both side's of a semipermeable membrane each solution is said to be?
In this situation, the two solutions are said to be isotonic. This means that they have the same concentration of solutes and the same osmotic pressure. As a result, there is no net movement of water across the membrane.
What is an isotonic supplement?
Isotonic is a term to compare two solutions. It describes a balance in the concentration of solutes, so that there is no osmotic pressure difference (i.e. water will not flow across the membrane). An isotonic supplement would be a term used to describe a supplement, that when dissolved in a specific amount of water, would be equal in concentration to the human body.
Where does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs wherever there is a semi-permeable membrane that separates two solutions of different concentrations. This process allows water molecules to flow from the area of lower solute concentration to the area of higher solute concentration to balance out the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
