Chapter 12, Problem 12.21P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The osmotic pressure of an intravenous solutionshould be determined.

Concept introduction:

• The number of moles of solute per litter of solution is known as molarity of the solution.

• The osmosis is measured by osmotic pressure, which is proportional to the molar concentration of solute.



$\text{π=}\left[\text{M}\right]\text{RT}$

• The relation between Kelvin scale and Celsius scale following:

  ${\text{T(K) = T(}}^{\text{o}}\text{C) }+\text{ 273}\text{.15}$

Given:

Amount of dextrose = $\text{50}\text{.0 g}$

Volume of water = $\text{1}\text{.00 L}$

Temperature, $\mathrm{T}=37^{o}C$
