A

molarity

18
Q

In order to calculate the volume required to prepare a dilute solution which is made from a more concentrated solution, one must know the ______ of the original solution.

A

concentration

19
Q

A _____ or ________ is a solution of known concentration that is used to prepare other working solutions of lesser concentration in the laboratory.

A

stock or standard solution

20
Q

______ is a process wherein more solvent is added to a solution, by a specific amount, so as to lower the concentration of the solution.

A

Dilution

21
Q

Dilution always ______ the concentration of a solution.

A

concentration

22
Q

Dilution does not change the total number of ____ of solute present. It simply increases the volume over which the solute particles are distributed.

A

moles

23
Q

_______ is the process in which solvent is removed from a solution, by a specific amount, so as to increase the concentration of the solution.

A

Concentration

24
Q

Concentration always ______ the concentration of a solution.

A

increases

25
Q

Concentration does not change the number of moles of solute present. It simply _____ the volume over which the solute particles are distributed.

A

decreases

26
Q

Freezing point depression and boiling point elevation are properties of solutions called ______ ______.

A

colligative properties

27
Q

______ ______ are the collective physical properties of a solution. These properties depend on the relative amounts of impurities in a pure substance but not on the identity of the impurity.

A

Colligative properties

28
Q

The boiling point elevation is a direct results of changes in the ______ _____ of the substance when a nonvolatile impurity is present.

A

vapor pressure

29
Q

______ is a phenomenon that occurs as water passes across a semipermeable membrane from the more dilute solution towards the more concentrated solution.

A

Osmosis

30
Q

A _______ ______ is a barrier that divides 2 different compartments and is selective in what it allows to pass from one compartment to the other.

A

semipermeable membrane

31
Q

______ ______ is defined as the amount of pressure that must be applied to the solution on the concentrated side of the membrane in order to prevent the flow of water across the semipermeable barrier.

A

Osmotic pressure

32
Q

The mathematical description of osmotic pressure is:

A

P - i M R T

33
Q

In the mathematical description of osmotic pressure, “P” stands for _______.

A

pressure

34
Q

In the mathematical description of osmotic pressure, “i” stands for _______.

A

van’t Hoff factor

35
Q

In the mathematical description of osmotic pressure, “M” stands for _______.

A

molarity

36
Q

In the mathematical description of osmotic pressure, “R” stands for _______.

A

ideal gas constant

37
Q

In the mathematical description of osmotic pressure, “T” stands for _______.

A

Kelvin temperature

38
Q

Since the Kelvin temperature is usually constant under biological conditions and R is constant, the equation can be simplified by eliminating R and T and comparing only the osmolarity solutions:

A

Osmolarity = i x M

39
Q

______ solution refers to a solution that has the same osmolarity as a normal physiological fluid. When RBCs are placed into this, they are happy and function normally.

A

Isotonic

40
Q

______ solution refers to a solution that has a lower osmolarity than that of the normal physiological fluid. When RBCs are placed into this, they swell and burst.

A

Hypotonic

41
Q

______ solution refers to a solution that has a higher osmolarity than that of a normal physiological fluid. When RBCs are placed into this, they shrink (or crenate) as the water is being sucked out of them.

A

Hypertonic

42
Q

_____ is a complex process used to remove ions and small waste molecules and at the same time, block the removal of large complexes like proteins.

A

Dialysis
