Solution A | Solution B | |
Oxygen concentration (mg/ml) |
100 | 50 |
PO2 (mmHg) | 50 | 100 |
All else being equal, which solution is more likely to have a higher osmolarity?
All else being equal, which solution is more likely to have a warmer temperature?
Which solution is most like blood?
Which solution has the higher oxygen solubility?
If solutions A and B were separated by a gas permeable membrane (like gill epithelium), what direction will oxygen diffuse?
1. Osmolarity that means an absolute measure of the concentration of solute in a solution .Considering above two solutions, solution A will have a higher osmolarity than solution B.
2. The warmer water contains less dissolved oxygen means to say solution B will have a warmer temperature.
3.solution B is most like blood.The range of normal PO2 for blood is 75-100 mmHg.If it is less than this, it means blood is not getting enough oxygen.
4.Solution B has the higher oxygen solubility, as we know that the solubility of the gases increases with the increase in pressere.
