BIO560 Post Lab Question 1

This document contains a student's responses to post-lab questions about units of measurement, concentration of solutions, and related calculations. The student provides conversions between different units for measurements like thickness, diameter, mass, volume, temperature. They also show work to calculate power output from lifting a weight and use of calories. Further questions ask the student to calculate amounts of various substances needed to make solutions of given concentrations, and to determine concentrations based on given substance amounts and volumes.

POST LAB QUESTION

A. Units of Measurement

a. Provide the correct conversion units for the following measurements:

100 Å thickness of cell membrane = 10 nm

8 Å diameter membrane pore = 800 pm

15 g haemoglobin per 100 ml blood = 150 mg/ml

100 ml plasma = 0.1 L

25°C room temperature = 77 °F

98.6°F body temperature = 37 °C

b. A power lifter lifts 500 lb 6 ft off the ground. How much work has he performed?

3000 ft-lb work = 414.94 kg-m work

How many calories of energy did he use to produce this work? = 829.9 cal
If he performs this feat 11 times in 1 minute, what is his power output? = 57.74 W

B. Concentration of Solutions

Atomic weights: Na = 23
K = 39
Ca = 40
Cl = 35.5
Molecular weights: Glucose = 180
NaCl = 58.5
KCl = 74
CaCl2 = 110

1. How many grams of glucose would you need to make 500 ml of an 8 % solution? = 40 g

2. If 6 g of NaCl is dissolved in 1 L of solution, what percent concentration is prepared?

= 0.6 %
3. How many grams of KCl would you need to make 250 ml of a 0.5 M solution? = 9.25 g

4. What molar concentration would a 9 % solution of glucose be? = 0.5 M

5. What percent would a 300 mM solution of CaCl2 be? = 3.19 %


6. Sodium ions are found in the extracellular fluid (ECF) in a concentration of 150 mM. How

many grams per litre is this? = 3.45 g/L

7. What osmolar concentration would an 11.7 % solution of NaCl be? = 4.00 Osm

8. A 0.9 % solution of NaCl is considered isotonic to mammalian cells. What molar

concentration is this? = 0.154 M


9. What percent concentration of KCl would be isotonic to body cells? = 1.1 %

10. A 33 % solution of CaCl2 would be what osmolar concentration? = 9 Osm

11. You want to make 500 ml of an isotonic glucose solution to infuse into a patient. How

many grams of glucose do you need? = 27 g
