Chemistry: Lab Quiz – Flashcards

The water in the pickle migrates into the saline solution by way of osmotic action through the semipermeable membrane in the pickle's skin.

It is important because cells need certain materials to survive, but if other materials enter the cell they could destroy the cell.

Osmosis affects only soluble molecules that can pass through a membrane that is impenetrable to solutes. In dialysis, both solvents and solutes are diffused through porous membranes.

The dialysis machine takes the blood in your veins. Then it takes it through a series of tubes which undergoes filtration by use of reverse osmosis. The clean blood is returned to the body.

It tells you if the hydronium ion concentration of a solution is acidic, basic or neutral.

It is a reaction which results when the protons from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to produce water and a salt.

It contains a weak acid and the salt of that acid. It maintains the pH of a solution by reacting with small amounts of acids or bases.

The flow of a solvent, usually water, through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of higher solute concentration

A homogeneous mixture in which the solute is made up of small particles that can pass through filters and semipermeable membranes.

A mixture in which the solute particles are large enough and heavy enough to settle out and be retained by both filters and semipermeable membranes.

A mixture that has particles that are moderately large. They can pass through filters but cannot pass through semipermeable membranes.

Hypertonic refers to a solution with higher osmotic pressure than another solution.

Isotonic refers to a solution with the same osmotic pressure of another solution.

A hypotonic solution is any solution that has a lower osmotic pressure than another solution.

The shriveling of a cell because of waters leaving the cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.

A swelling and bursting of red blood cells in a hypotonic solution because of an increase in fluid volume.
