96) Red blood cells are placed into pure water. Which of the following statements is true?
A) Water molecules flow out of the red blood cells, causing them to collapse.
B) Water flows into the red blood cells, causing them to swell and burst.
C) The osmotic pressure of the cell contents increases, causing the cells to burst.
D) The osmotic pressure inside the cells equals the osmotic pressure outside.
97) How will the osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution change as evaporation occurs?
A) The osmotic pressure will increase.
B) The osmotic pressure will not change.
C) The osmotic pressure will decrease.
D) The osmotic pressure will increase or decrease until it equals the vapor pressure of water.
98) Assuming that sea water is a 3.5 mass % solution of NaCl in water, calculate its osmotic
pressure at 20°C. The density of a 3.5% NaCl solution at 20°C is 1.023 g/mL.
A) 1.0 atm
B) 15 atm
C) 29 atm
D) 100 atm
99) A solution is made by dissolving 13 g of sucrose, C12H22O11, in 117 g of water, producing
a solution with a volume of 125 mL at 20°C. What is the expected osmotic pressure at 20°C?
A) 7.3 atm
B) 10 atm
C) 14 atm
D) 58 atm
100) The average osmotic pressure of blood is about 7 atm. Therefore
A) the average blood pressure is about 7 atm.
B) the average pressure inside the body is about 7 atm above the external pressure.
C) a pressure of about 7 atm would be required to prevent osmosis if blood is in contact with
pure water across a semipermeable membrane.
D) All of the above are true.
