D5 ¼ NS (5% dextrose with .225% sodium chloride) is an IV solution commonly used "in the field" for resuscitation purposes particularly when a lot of fluid is needed such as in hypovolemic shock. MW of dextrose = 180 and MW of NaCl = 58). NS or normal saline is 0.9% sodium chloride What is the overall osmolarity of this very common IV solution?

Step 1

For dextrose: The concentration is 5%, which is equivalent to 50g/L. To convert this to moles, we divide by the molecular weight of dextrose (180g/mol). So, the molarity of dextrose is 50g/L ÷ 180g/mol = 0.277 mol/L. Since dextrose does not dissociate in Show more…
