Glucose concentrations of up to 0.5 M ≈ 0.5 moles per kg of H2O have been recorded in the
frog's blood plasma.
1.Assuming that glucose is the major solute in the wood frog's blood plasma, at what
temperature will the blood plasma freeze? (Kf(H2O) = 1.86 K kg/mol)
2.Assuming that the solute concentration inside the frog's cells is much smaller than that of
the blood plasma and that water can pass freely through cell membranes, what will
happen to the the frog's blood cells in response to the high glucose concentration in the
blood plasma?
