Question

A patient received $2.0gofNaCl$in $8h$. How many milliliters of a $0.90\%(m/v)$$NaCl$(saline) solution were delivered?

Short answer

$222\mathrm{ml}\text{solution}$of a $0.90\%(m/v)$saline solution were delivered.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction.

A saline solution is a salt as well as water solution. This same level of sodium in salt solution is $0.9$percent sodium chloride (salt), which really is comparable to the sodium concentration in the blood and tears.

Given Information.

Given:

A patient having $2.0gofNaCl$in$8h.$

To know the milliliters of$0.90\%(m/v)NaCl$saline solution.

Explanation.

The $0.90\%(m/v)$saline solution is written as,

$100\mathrm{ml}\text{solution}=0.90g\mathrm{NaCl}$

$\frac{0.90g\mathrm{NaCl}}{100\mathrm{ml}\text{solution}}\text{and}\frac{100\mathrm{ml}\text{solution}}{0.90g\mathrm{NaCl}}$

Using conversion, Find the volume from grams of solute is as,

$$\begin{gathered} =2.0\mathrm{g}\mathrm{KaCl}\times \frac{100\mathrm{ml}\text{solution}}{0.90\mathrm{g}\mathrm{AaCl}} \\ =222\mathrm{ml}\text{solution} \end{gathered}$$
