1. The question here is slightly ambiguous.
Iron prescribed for the patient(71kg) is 9mg/kg of
Fe2(SO4)3 = 71 x 9 = 639 mg
Iron solution actually prepared = 975 mg of
Fe2(SO4)3
Lets assume this patient receives the dose as prescribed so he
receives 639 mg of Fe2SO4.
MW of Fe2(SO4)3is 399.88 grams which means
399.88 mg of Fe2(SO4)3 =1 millimole
So 639 mg of Fe2(SO4)3
= (1/399.88) x 639 = 1.6 millimole
Each millimole of Fe2(SO4)3 on dissolution
gives 3 MEq of Fe3+,
so 1.6 millimole of Fe2(SO4)3 on dissolution
produces 1.6 x 3 = 4.8 MEq of Fe3+
2. Osmolarity of a solution can be determined using the following equation:
mOsm/L = [wt. of the substance(g/l) / Mol. wt .(g)] x no.of particles x 1000
wt. of substance in this case = 23.4 % x 10 = 234 g/l
Mol. wt. = 58.44 g
no. of particles = 2
So mOsm/L = ( 234/58.44 ) x 2 x 1000 = 8008.21
answer for this question should be in MEq not ml answer should be in units of mOsmol/L A 71 kg patient is in ne...
A 71 kg patient is in need of intravenous iron supplementation. He was ordered to receive a single intravenous 6 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 800 mg of stabilized iron sulfate salt in water to produce 20 mL of solution. How many milliequivalents of iron (Fe 3+) will the patient receive as a single dose? Assume the...

how many milliequivalents? what is the osmolarity of this solution? A 66 kg patient is in need of intravenous iron supplementation. She was ordered to receive a single intravenous 5 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 750 mg of stabilized iron sulfate salt in water to produce 25 mL of solution. How many milliequivalents of iron (Fe 3+)...
