mols NaCl = grams/molar mass
osmols NaCl = 2xmols NaCl
mols KCl = grams/molar mass
osmols KCl = 2xmols KCl
mols CaCl2 = grams/molar mass
osmols CaCl2 = 3xmols CaCl2
Take sum osmols to obtain total.
That/1L = ? osmolarity
Ringer's solution, used in the treatment of burns and wounds, is prepared by dissolving 8.6 g of NaCl, 0.30 g of KCl, and 0.33 g of CaCl2 in water and diluting to a volume of 1.00 L.
What is the osmolarity of Ringer’s solution?
