Chapter 6, Problem 6.102P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

to calculate the amount water required to change the osmolarity of blood.

Concept Introduction:

Osmolarity will decrease when added more solvent. In order to relate different volumes and osmolarities, it is convenient to state the dilution law, which is based on the mass conservation principle.

The solute will not be created or destroyed when added more solvent.

${\mathrm{Osm}}_{1}V\text{O}{\text{l}}_1=\text{O}s{m}_{2}V\text{O}{\text{l}}_2$.
