What % m/v solution of magnesium phosphate would be isotonic with blood? The osmolarity of blood is 0.31 osmoles.
Added by Summer N.
Step 1
An isotonic solution has the same osmolarity (solute concentration) as another solution, in this case, blood, which prevents the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. The osmolarity of blood is given as 0.31 osmoles per liter (Osm/L). Show more…

What is the osmolarity of a 3.3 % w/v Na3PO4 solution?

The osmolarity of physiological saline solution is 0.30 osmol/L. Assuming that the cell membrane is not permeable to its ions, is a 1.34 % w/v solution of nickel(II) sulfate, NiSO4, hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic to red blood cells?
