Chapter 4, Problem 4.32QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The molar concentration of chloride ion in sea water and blood and the final volume of sea water are given. The method of preparation of sea water with the same concentration as that of blood is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The initial volume of sea water is calculated as,

$\text{Initial}\text{volume}=\frac{\text{Final}\text{molar}\text{concentration}\times \text{Final}\text{volume}}{\text{Initial}\text{molar}\text{concentration}}$

To determine: The method of preparation of sea water with the same concentration as that of blood.
