Fact or fishy ?

WHY/WHICH LAW proves this wrong

A patient loses some alveoli in their lungs. Their rate of gas diffusion will increase.

A patient loses some alveoli in their lungs. Their rate of gas diffusion will increase.

🐟

Fewer alveoli = less surface area, so rate of gas diffusion decreases (Fick’s Law).

A solution may have high osmolarity but still be isotonic if the solutes can freely cross the membrane (e.g., urea).

molelele

A research student asked to make up a 2 litre solution of 5% m/V glucose in water.

  1. What is the required mass of glucose in grams?
    1. %m/V = 5% = mass of solute / volume of solution (mL)

b) How many mol of glucose is required to 3 dp?

c) What is the concentration of glucose in mol/L to 3 dp?

molemole

A research student asked to make up a 2 litre solution of 5% m/V glucose in water.

  • What is the required mass of glucose in grams?
    • %m/V = 5% = mass of solute / volume of solution (mL)

2L = 2000 mL

x / 2000 = 5% (or we can say 0.05)

X = 0.05x2000

= 100 g

b) How many mol of glucose is required to 3 dp?

100g of glucose

C6H12O6= 180.156g/mol

n(glucose) = 100/180.156

= 0.555 mol

c) What is the concentration of glucose in mol/L to 3 dp?

c(glucose) = 0.555 mol / 2 L

= 0.278 mol/L

DR EVIL?!

  1. Using the rms formula, how long do you have to find the unlock button to escape before the gas reaches you, rounded down to the nearest second?

Dr EVIL farts near you in a subway but his farts contain sarin gas. The diffusion coefficient (D) is 20 m2/s. If the gas reaches you, you will die by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase enzymes, leading to violent persistent muscular contractions that prevent breathing. You run to a maintenance door 50 m away that has been locked by mini me😱. Assume the time taken to run is negligible.

  • Using the rms formula, how long do you have to find the unlock button to escape before the gas reaches you, rounded down to the nearest second?

Xrms = 50m, D = 20m^2/s, t = ?

50m = sqrt(2 * 20 m^2/s * t)

t = 50^2 m^2 / (2 * 20m^2 * s^-1)

t = 2500m^2 / (40m^2 * s^-1)

t = 62 s

Special cell

The solute concentration inside a special cell is 100 mOsm (all non-penetrating) and the concentration of the extracellular fluid is 400 mOsm. The solute concentration of ECF is made up of 150 mOsm of glucose (large polar molecule) and 250 mOsm of O2.

  1. Calculate the osmolarity and the tonicity of this cell.

  • Is water likely to move into or out of the cell?

c) If oxygen has a diffusion constant of 100 x 10-11 m2/s and travels 4nm, find how long it will take for oxygen to diffuse out of the cell.

Special cell

The solute concentration inside a special cell is 100 mOsm (all non-penetrating) and the concentration of the extracellular fluid is 400 mOsm. The solute concentration of ECF is made up of 150 mOsm of glucose (large polar molecule) and 250 mOsm of O2.

  • Calculate the osmolarity and the tonicity of this cell.

mOsm = milliosmole, osmol= mol/L

therefore mOsm → osmol= /1000

Osmolarity - all particles

ECF= 400mOsm = 0.4 osmol

ICF= 100mOsm = 0.1 osmol

  • Is water likely to move into or out of the cell?

ECF has increased tonicity because:

150mOsm of glucose > 100 mOsm of intracellular solute

=water will leave the cell

c) If oxygen has a diffusion constant of 100 x 10-11 m2/s and travels 4nm, find how long it will take for oxygen to diffuse out of the cell.

In its dissolved form, O₂ doesn’t dissociate into individual oxygen atoms. Instead, it stays intact as the molecule O₂, which is considered one particle.

4x10-9=sqrt(2(100x10-11)t)

t= (4x10-9)2 / 2(100x10-11)

t= 8 x 10-9

Tonicity - non-penetrating only

ECF= 150mOsm = 0.15 osmol

ICF= 100mOsm = 0.1 osmol

Δx= 10x10-9

D= 1x10-16

A= 100x10-9 x 100x10-9 = 1 x 10-14 m2
