blood is said to be isotonic with 0.85%[wt/v].NaCl solution at 40degrees celsius.assuming complete dissosiation of nacl .calculate total concentration of various solutes in blood .also report its approximate freezing point.

isotonic means same osmotic pressure
Ï€=CRT for blood
Ï€=iCRT for (NaCl solution)
=2*(0.85/100)/58.5*1000 RT
CRT=2*(0.85/100)/58.5*1000 RT
so C=2*(0.85/100)/58.5*1000=0.29 M
ΔTf=Kfm=1.86*0.29=0.54 °C
so freezing point is -0.54 °C
