You need to prepare 2.5 L of an isotonic intravenous (IV)
solution of 0.2% w/v of sodium chloride. Anhydrous glucose (SCE =
0.18).
(a) You have a 0.1 M solution of sodium chloride and a 0.1 M
solution of glucose. From your knowledge of colligative properties,
indicate which solution would have: (i) the highest osmotic
pressure, (ii) the lowest boiling point, and (iii) the highest
melting point. Give a brief explanation to support your answer. (b)
Briefly explain why eye and nose drop medications are generally
formulated as isotonic solutions. (e) What do you think would
happen to the overall size of a sample of blood cells if they were
placed into a beaker containing aqueous 0.1 M sodium chloride. Give
a brief explanation to support you answer.
