Question

Typical blood serum NaCl concentation is 0.154M, which meansthat the concentration of sodium ion is also 0.154M. a) What is the concentration of sodium ion in mEq/L? b) How would you prepare 1.00 L of an isotonic NaCl solutionfrom solid NaCl? c) You need 1000mL of 0.154 M NaCl, but the only solutionavailable is 1.50 M NaCl. How many of this stock solution will youmeasure out to make your solution? (C1V1=C2V2) d) How much water will you add to get a total volume of1000mL?

Explanation / Answer

a) concentration of sodium ion in mEq /L  is154mEq/L because for sodium ion equvalent weight is equals tomolecular weight. b) By adding equal amount NaCl to one liter waterisotonic sollution can be prepared. c) Formula: MiVi = MfVf                    Mi= 1.50M       and Mf =0.154M                     Vi =?                    Vf = 1000mL                      Vi = (0.154M*1000mL)/ 1.50M                              = 102.67mL d) Water must be added = 1000mL -102.67mL                                         =897.33mL
