Carries' boss has rold her to mix up an isotonic (300mOsm) salt solution to rise blood cells with. Carrie cannot remember how many grans of salt to add to one liter of water. Can you help her?

Saline solution, 0.95 % (mass) of NaCl per 100 mL water solution can replace blood plasma in an emergency. How much salt you need to make a 2.00 L of saline solution? Answer: _ _ _ _ _ [g]

A 60-year-old female patient appears to be dehydrated, with a hematocrit of 0.55 (55%) and a plasma protein concentration of 8.8 g per dL (normal, ~7.0). After obtaining a plasma sample, you find that she has hyponatremia, with a plasma sodium concentration of 110 mmol/L and a plasma osmolarity of 240 mOsm/L. You decide to administer 2.0 L of 3% sodium chloride. Her body weight was 80 kg before giving the fluid. Assume the following: Intracellular fluid volume = 40% of body weight before fluid administration Extracellular fluid volume = 20% of body weight before fluid administration Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol No excretion of water or electrolytes Calculate the volume of the intracellular fluid compartment after equilibrium is reached ??/ The volume extracellular fluid compartment after equilibrium is reached ??? and total body water after equilibrium is reached ???

Saline solution is administered intravenously to patients who cannot take fluid orally and are in danger of dehydration. The osmotic pressure of this solution must match that of blood to prevent hemolysis or crenation of blood cells. What mass of sodium chloride (58.44 g/mol) is needed to produce 100.0 mL of saline solution with an osmotic pressure of 7.83 atm at a body temperature of 37°C? a. 0.899 g b. 8.99 g c. 18.0 g d. 1.80 g e. 0.450 g
