IV bags containa solution of sodium chloride called NS, or normal saline, which is 0.9%(m/v). How many grams of salt are mixed into a 500-mL IV NS bag?
4.5g
0.45 g
0.045 g
450 g
4500 g
0.0045 g
%(m/v) = 0.9 %
Volume of solution = 500 mL
Use:
%(m/v) = mass of salt * 100 / Volume of solution
0.9 = mass of salt * 100 / 500
mass of salt = 4.5 g
Answer: 4.5 g
