A nurse uses a syringe to inject 5.00 mL of 0.550 M heparin solution (heparin is an anticoagulant drug) into a 250 mL IV bag, for a final volume of 225 mL. Please discuss how you would determine the concentration of the resulting heparin solution. (250 words)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer: The concentration of resulting heparin solution can be calcuated by using the molarity equation i.e.

M(heparin) x V ((heparin) = M(IV bag) x V (IV bag)

Thus, 0.550 x 0.005 = M(IV bag) x 0.225

or M(IV bag) = 0.550 x 0.005 / 0.225

M(IV bag) = 0.012 M

Therefore the concentration of resulting heparin solution is 0.012 M
