Chemistry

Using the vale of 300 mOsmol.L-1 for plasma answer the following questions: A 2.0 L solution contains

18 mmol of sodium chloride (i = 1.8)

20 mmol of potassium chloride (i = 1.8)

10 mmol of calcium chloride (i = 2.5)

a) Is the solution isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic?

 

b) If it is not isotonic, how could the solution be made isotonic with blood using either glucose or water? If using water to make the solution isotonic give the volume to be added in mL If using glucose to make the solution isotonic give the amount to be added in mmol.

Please use water to make the solution isotonic
