Question

You wish to prepare an IV solution, NaCl, with a mole fraction of 2.90*10-4

a) how many grams of NaCl will you have to combine with 1 L of water to make the solution?

b) what is the molality of the solution?

c) what is the concentration in ppm? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Molality: It is the property of solution and it tells us about the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The unit of morality is mol/kg.

                                                          molality=moles of solutekg os solvent

Mole fraction: It is the ratio of the number of molecules of a constituent Ni divided by the total number of all molecules Ntot.

xi = NiNtotal
