According to your group data, how does NaCl and/or water intake influence urine production? These are the data: We explore how consuming various amounts of water and electrolytes cause changes in urine volume produced, urine sodium concentration, and urine osmolarity. In the following groups, urine is collected at 30-minute intervals: In response to drinking 1L of water. In response to eating pretzels containing 1g of NaCl. In response to drinking 1L of water and eating pretzels containing 1g of NaCl. 2. Explain the relation between osmolarity and sodium chloride concentration. 3. Predict the osmolarity of a 0.05 M solution of MgCl2.

You are exploring kidney function in kangaroo rats. You measure urine volume and osmolarity, as well as the amount of chloride (Cl-) and urea in the urine. If the water source provided to the animals were switched from tap water to a $2 \% \mathrm{NaCl}$ solution, indicate what change in urine osmolarity you would expect. How would you determine if this change was more likely due to a change in the excretion of $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ or urea?
