Question
What is the $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$content in $\mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$ of a solution containing $27 \mathrm{~g}$ of sodium chloride/liter solution?
Step 1
The molar mass of NaCl is the sum of the atomic masses of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Molar mass of Na = 22.99 g/mol Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 g/mol Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol Show more…

A physiological saline solution contains $154 \mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$ each of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$. How many moles each of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ are in $1.00 \mathrm{~L}$ of the saline solution?
How many mEq of Nat are present in 1 liter of a 0.9% NaCl solution?
An equivalent (Eq) is defined as a mole of charge. If human blood plasma has a concentration of 150 mEq (milli-equivalent) and assuming that all of the solute is Na+, what mass of Na+ is present in 1.00 L of blood plasma? The mass of Na+ is 23.0 g/mol. Give your answer to three significant figures.
