Question

if a saline bag has a molarity of 0.155 and 0.75 L are given to a patient how many grams of NaCl did the patient receive?

Answer 1

Mass = 6.79 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity = 0.155

Volume = 0.75L

Mass = ?

The relationship between these quantities is given as;

Molarity = Number of moles / Volume

Number of moles = Volume * Molarity

Number of moles = 0.75 * 0.155 = 0.11625 moles

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Mass = Molar mass * Number of moles

Mass = 58.44277 g/mol * 0.11625 mol

Mass = 6.79 g
