41
Q

■ major electrolyte concentration
1._____________
2. _____________
3. ____________

A

○ sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate

42
Q

This property
refers to the lowering of the freezing point of
a solution compared to that of the pure
solvent. The greater the number of solute
particles in the solution, the greater the
depression of the freezing point. Osmolality
can be calculated by measuring the change
in freezing point.

A

Freezing point

43
Q

This is the
opposite of depression of freezing point. It is
the increase in the boiling point of a solution
compared to that of the pure solvent. As with
freezing point depression, the elevation of
boiling point is proportional to the number of
solute particles in the solution.

A

Boiling Point

44
Q

______________ is the
pressure required to prevent the net flow of
solvent across a semipermeable membrane
due to differences in solute concentration. It’s
directly related to the osmolality of a solution.
The higher the osmolality, the higher the
osmotic pressure

A

Osmotic pressure

45
Q

This property
refers to the reduction in the vapor pressure
of a solution compared to that of the pure
solvent. Just like with the other colligative
properties, vapor pressure lowering is
proportional to the number of solute particles
in the solution and can be used to calculate
osmolality.

A

Vapor Pressure

46
Q

______________ must be centrifuged to remove extraneous
particles

A
