Chapter 6, Problem 6.114CHP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of each of the ions in Ringer’s solution has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity:

The molarity of the solution can be determined as the number of moles of solute per one liter solution

Molarity =$\frac{\text{no}\text{.}\text{of}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{solute}}{\text{no}\text{.}\text{of}\text{litres}\text{of}\text{solution}}$

The molarity of ions in Ringer’s solution is,

${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}$ is $\text{0}\text{.145}\text{M}$ and ${\text{K}}^{\text{+}}$ is $\text{0}\text{.00402}\text{M}$, ${\text{Ca}}^{2+}$ is $\text{0}\text{.00298}\text{M}$ and ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$$\text{0}\text{.157 M}$.
