Question
below is animal cells placed in beakers of various concentrations.
- draw an arrow to show which way the water should move by osmosis
- fill in any missing percentages (water or solute)
- identify the type of solution (isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic) by circling your choice
Solving for Missing Percentages (Water or Solute)
For any solution, the sum of water percentage and solute percentage is \( 100\% \) (since \( \text{Water}\% + \text{Solute}\% = 100\% \)). We use this to find missing values.
1. Fourth Beaker (Animal Cell: \( 55\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 45\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 55\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \))
Step 1: Use \( \text{Water}\% + \text{Solute}\% = 100\% \)
Let \( x = \text{Solute}\% \) in the beaker.
\( 55\% + x = 100\% \)
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
\( x = 100\% - 55\% = 45\% \)
2. Fifth Beaker (Animal Cell: \( 15\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 85\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 35\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \))
Step 1: Use \( \text{Water}\% + \text{Solute}\% = 100\% \)
Let \( x = \text{Solute}\% \) in the beaker.
\( 35\% + x = 100\% \)
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
\( x = 100\% - 35\% = 65\% \)
3. Sixth Beaker (Animal Cell: \( \_ \% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 95\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 25\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 75\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Step 1: Find animal cell’s \( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% \) (since \( \text{Water}\% + \text{Solute}\% = 100\% \))
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% = 100\% - 95\% = 5\% \)
4. Seventh Beaker (Animal Cell: \( \_ \% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 55\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( \_ \% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 25\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Step 1: Animal cell’s \( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% \)
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% = 100\% - 55\% = 45\% \)
Step 2: Beaker’s \( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% \) (since \( \text{Water}\% + \text{Solute}\% = 100\% \))
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% = 100\% - 25\% = 75\% \)
5. Eighth Beaker (Animal Cell: \( 80\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \_ \% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( \_ \% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, 90\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Step 1: Animal cell’s \( \text{Solute}\% \)
\( \text{Solute}\% = 100\% - 80\% = 20\% \)
Step 2: Beaker’s \( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% \)
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}\% = 100\% - 90\% = 10\% \)
6. Ninth Beaker (Animal Cell: \( 5\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \_ \% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 65\% \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \_ \% \, \text{Solute} \))
Step 1: Animal cell’s \( \text{Solute}\% \)
\( \text{Solute}\% = 100\% - 5\% = 95\% \)
Step 2: Beaker’s \( \text{Solute}\% \)
\( \text{Solute}\% = 100\% - 65\% = 35\% \)
Identifying Solution Types (Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic)
- Isotonic: Equal solute concentration (water moves equally).
- Hypertonic: Beaker has higher solute (water moves out of cell).
- Hypotonic: Beaker has lower solute (water moves into cell).
1. First Beaker (Cell: \( 10\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 60\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Beaker solute > Cell solute → Hypertonic
2. Second Beaker (Cell: \( 60\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 30\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Beaker solute < Cell solute → Hypotonic
3. Third Beaker (Cell: \( 80\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 80\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Equal solute → Isotonic
4. Fourth Beaker (Cell: \( 45\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 45\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Equal solute → Isotonic
5. Fifth Beaker (Cell: \( 85\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 65\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Beaker solute < Cell solute → Hypotonic
6. Sixth Beaker (Cell: \( 95\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 75\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Beaker solute < Cell solute → Hypotonic
7. Seventh Beaker (Cell: \( 55\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 25\% \, \text{Solute} \))
Beaker solute < Cell solute → Hypotonic
8. Eighth Beaker (Cell: \( 20\% \, \text{Solute} \); Beaker: \( 90\% \, \text{Solute}…
