Question
Answered step-by-step
Certain fishes in the Antarctic Ocean swim in water at about $-2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) To prevent their blood from freezing, what must be the concentration (in molality) of the blood? Is this a reasonable physiological concentration? (b) In recent years scientists have discovered a special type of protein in these fishes' blood which, although present in quite low concentrations $(\leq 0.001 m),$ has the ability to prevent the blood from freezing. Suggest a mechanism for its action.

In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term "solution" is also used to refer to the resultant mixture. The solution is usually a fluid. The particles of a solute are dispersed or dissolved in the solvent. The resulting solution is also called the solvent. The solvent is the continuous phase.

In physics and thermodynamics, the natural tendency of a system to change its state is its tendency to increase the entropy of the system. It is a measure of the disorder in a system.

in this question I would like to determine the morality and the more a little recall empire will be equal job. The malls of solid voted by eight years off. Sullivan now looking at the information that we've been given, we've been given change in the freezing point DELTA T. F. Which is equal to sure. So the formula that we can use that relates these information is DELTA T. F. Equal to A. F. Multiplied by the morality. So what we are looking for here is the morality. This part of the question Or this part of the equation where our K. F. is equal to 1.86 and our T. F. Is called. So the morality this is going to be equal to two divided by 1.8. So the morality this is going to be equal to one point one and this season unions of him and then moving on to the next part of the question. Although the protein concentration is low it can prove and the formation of ice cream. Now looking at this concentration, this concentration is too high and it is not a reasonable physiological concentration
