A 7% solution of sodium chloride (Na Cl - MW = 58.44 g/mol) has been prepared by a technician for direct intravenous injection to a patient. While reviewing the order and preparation, you recall that this concentration seems to be abnormal. As a result, you want to determine the osmolarity of the solution. What is the osmolarity of this solution?
Note: Please provide your answer in units of mOsmol/L.
osmolarity is the concentration of ions in the solution. an osmole is a mole of particles that contribute to the osmotic pressure of a solution.
nacl dissociate completely in water to form Na+ and Cl - ions. thus each mole of nacl becomes 2 osmoles in sol. one mole of Na+ and one mole of Cl - . a sol of 1mol/L nacl has an osmolarity of 2osmol
eg: calculate the osmolarity of 0.140mol/L Nacl
Nacl = 0.140mol/L
each mole of Nacl becomes 2 osmoles
therefore osmolarity = 0.140mol/L x ( 2osmol / 1 mol)
= 0.280osmol/L

A 30% solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2 - MW = 110.98 g/mol) has been prepared by a technician for direct intravenous injection to a patient. While reviewing the order and preparation, you recall that this concentration seems to be abnormal. As a result, you want to determine the osmolarity of the solution. What is the osmolarity of this solution? Note: Please provide your answer in units of mOsmol/L.
A 10% solution of magnesium chloride (Mg C12-MW 95.211 g/mol) has been prepared by a technician for direct intravenous injection to a patient. While reviewing the order and preparation, you recall that this concentration seems to be abnormal. As a result, you want to determine the osmolarity of the solution. What is the osmolarity of this solution? Note: Please provide your answer in units of mOsmol/L.
answer for this question should be in MEq not ml answer should be in units of mOsmol/L A 71 kg patient is in need of intravenous iron supplementation. She was ordered to receive a single intravenous 9 mg/kg dose of iron (III) sulfate (ferric sulfate - Fe2(SO4)3 - MW=399.88 g/mol). Iron (III) sulfate was prepared as a stabilized aqueous solution for this patient by dissolving 975 mg of stabilized iron sulfate salt in water to produce 15 mL of solution....
A 67 kg patient is in need of intravenous iron supplementation. She was ordered to receive a single intravenous 7 mg/kg dose of iron (III) sulfate (ferric sulfate - Fe2(SO4)3 - MW=399.88 g/mol). Iron (III) sulfate was prepared as a stabilized aqueous solution for this patient by dissolving 875 mg of stabilized iron sulfate salt in water to produce 10 mL of solution.

A patient is ordered to receive chloride supplementation by intravenous infusion of a sodium chloride solution [Na Cl MW-58.44 g/mol]. The patient is ordered to receive 0.4 mEq of Cl - ions per hour. A 1000 mL intravenous bag is prepared that contains 12 mL of a 23.4% solution of sodium chloride. What should be the infusion rate (in units of mL/min) necessary to produce the ordered dose of 0.4 mEq/hr of chloride? (Note: Consider the total solution volume to...
