A 5% dextrose in 1/2 normal saline (D5 1/2 NS) solution is commonly administered to patients needing post-operative IV fluids. How could you prepare 500 mL of this solution? Dextrose is 5% (m/v) and the NaCl is 0.45% (m/v).
The glass electrode used in commercial pH meters gives an electrical response proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ion. To convert these responses to a pH reading, the electrode must be calibrated against standard solutions of known H+ concentration. Determine the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4 · H2O; FW 138) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4 ; FW 142) needed to prepare 1 L of a standard buffer at pH 7.00 with a total phosphate concentration of 0.100 M . See Problem 24 for the pKa values of phosphoric acid.
A mixture containing only KCl and NaBr is analyzed by the Mohr Method. A 0.3172-g sample is dissolved in 50 mL water and titrated to the Ag2CrO4 endpoint, requiring 36.85 mL of 0.1120 M AgNO3. A blank titration requires 0.71 mL of titrant to reach the same endpoint. Report the % (w/w) KCl and NaBr in the sample. [Ans . 84.41 % (w /w); 17.59 % (w /w)]
