Normal saline (0.9% w/v) solution has the same osmotic pressure as human blood. The solution is made by dissolving 0.9 g of NaCl in 100 mL of water. Calculate the osmostic pressure of a 0.9% saline solution at 37 oC (normal human body temperature.) (Hint: remember that NaCl dissociates into ions when it dissolves!) π = ___ atm |
