1/12/2024 OSMOSIS & HENRY'S LAW Flashcards
In general, does the solubility of salts increase or decrease with temperature?
Increase
for gasses, solubility DECREASES with temperature
ex: OXYGEN (happy and sad fish)
How do you calculate gas solubility?
Henry’s Law
What is osmosis?
The result of SOLVENT diffusion
What is meant by an “Isotonic” condition?
Concentration is the same on the inside and outside of the membrane
What happens when you take a cell and put it into saltwater?
Hypertonic condition: higher solute concentration outside the cell
If blood is diluted, would red blood cells be hypertonic, isotonic or hypotonic?
HYPOTONIC (water would diffuse at a greater rate into the cell than out)
What is Osmotic Pressure?
Solvent movement generates osmotic pressure (II)
II depends on the amount of particles in solution, not the identity of those solutes
- Colligative: the magnitude depends on
what is a non-electrolyte?
something that doesn’t dissociate
Why are the theoretical i values different from the experimental values?
Because the theoretical i assumes no attraction between hydrated ions after separated
