Answer:

A solution contains 100mM NaCl, 20mM CaCl2, and 20mM urea. We would say this solution is hypotonic compared to a 300 mOsM solution and hypotonic compared to a cell with 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) interior.

Explanation:

The osmolarity is calculated from the molar concentration of the active particles in the solution. We have a solution that is composed of NaCl, CaCl₂ and urea.

When they are dissolved in water, they dissociate into particles as follows:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻  (2 particles per compound)

CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2 Cl⁻ (3 particles per compound)

urea: not dissociation (1 particle per compound)

Then, we have to calculate the osmolarity of the solution. We multiply the molarity of each compound by the number of particles produced by the compound in water:

Osm = (100 mM NaCl x 2) + (20 mM CaCl₂ x 3) + (20 mM urea x 1) = 280 mOsm

Compared with 300 mOsm, 280 mOsm has a lower osmolarity, so it is a hypotonic solution.

To compare with a cell's osmolarity, we have to consider only the non-penetrating solutes. Urea is considered a penetrating solute for mammalian cells. So, the osmolarity of non-penetrating solutes (NaCl  and CaCl₂) is calculated as:

Osm (non-penetrating solutes) = (100 mM NaCl x 2) + (20 mM CaCl₂ x 3) = 260 mOsm

Therefore, we have:

Compared to 300 mOsm solution ⇒ 280 mOsm solution is a hypotonic solution

Compared to a cell with 300 mOsm ⇒ 260 mOsm solution is hypotonic

HELP . Read the following graduated cylinder.
Anon25 [30]

The volume of the liquid from the graduated cylinder is 22.5 mL

The last option (22.5 mL) is the correct option

The question seems to be incomplete

The image that completes the question is shown in the attachment below.

From the image, we observe that the liquid meniscus is between the 20 mL and 25 mL marks. That means the volume will lie in this range.

NOTE: The meniscus of a liquid is the upward or downward curve seen at the top of a liquid in a container.

The type of curve shown in the image is a concave meniscus and the volume of the liquid is read from the bottom of the curve.

To read the value from the graduated cylinder, we will first determine the difference between two consecutive lines. Between the 20 mL and 25 mL mark (two thick lines), we have 5 spaces separated by thin lines.

The measure between two consecutive lines is the difference between two thick lines divided by number of spaces between them

∴ The measure between two consecutive lines = (25mL - 20mL) ÷ 5

The measure between two consecutive lines = 5mL ÷ 5 = 1 mL

Now, to read the position of the liquid,

Starting from the 20 mL mark, the liquid exceeds two more lines + half way to the next line ( that is 2mL + 0.5 mL)

∴ The position of the liquid is 20 mL + 2mL + 0.5 mL = 22.5 mL

Hence, the volume of the liquid from the graduated cylinder is 22.5 mL
