48. If red blood cells (0.3 osmol/L) are placed into a 1.5 M solution, the solution would be classified as __________. a) Hypotonic b) Hypertonic c) Isotonic d) Not Enough Information 49. Which off the following non-polar molecules would have the highest melting point? a) CH4 (Molar Mass = 16.043 g/mol) b) CH3CH2CH2CH3 (Molar Mass = 58.124 g/mol) c) CH3(CH2)4CH3 (Molar Mass = 86.178 g/mol) d) CH3(CH2)6CH3 (Molar Mass = 114.232 g/mol)

Step 1
The concentration of the solution outside the red blood cells is 1.5 M, which is higher than the concentration inside the cells (0.3 osmol/L). Therefore, the solution is hypertonic to the cells. So, the answer is b) Hypertonic. Show more…

$\mathrm{NaCl}(\mathrm{aq})$ isotonic with blood is $0.92 \% \quad \mathrm{NaCl}$ (mass/volume). For this solution, what is (a) $\left[\mathrm{Na}^{+}\right]$ (b) the total molarity of ions; (c) the osmotic pressure at $37^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;$ (d) the approximate freezing point? (Assume that the solution has a density of $1.005 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL} .)$

A newly discovered weak acid was found to diffuse freely through the red blood cell membrane. A 2.3% solution of this weak acid has the same freezing point as blood. a. Is the 2.3% solution isotonic, isoosmotic, or both isoosmotic and isotonic? b. Is the normal freezing point of blood 0°C, -0.052°C, -0.52°C, or -0.90°C? c. When a volume of the 2.3% solution in a is mixed with blood, red blood cells will retain their normal size and shape, shrink and become wrinkled, or swell and finally burst? d. When two isotonic solutions are mixed (assuming no reaction), the resulting solution is also isotonic. True or false?
