deuterium oxide: 42 liters inulin: 13 liters Evans blue: 2.8 liters Her plasma shows a freezing point depression of 0.55 degrees C. For an ideal solution, a 1 OsM solution depresses the freezing point 1.86 degrees C. 1. osmolarity of her body fluids? --> 0.295 2. How much solute (osmoles) exists in each of the above compartments? (shown below) Using the data above as the initial conditions in each case, determine the effects of the following procedures on the...
