Ringers lactate, a solution containing several different salts, is often administered intravenously for the initial treatment of trauma patients. One liter of Ringer’s lactate contains 0.102 mole of sodium chloride, 4 × 10 3 mole of potassium chloride. 1.5 ×10-3 mole of calcium chloride, and 2.8 ×10-2 mole of sodium lactate. Determine the osmotic pressure of this solution at normal body temperature (37°C). Assume no ion pairing. (The formula of the lactate ion is CH3CH2COO.)
