A saline solution is administered intravenously to patients

A saline solution is administered intravenously to patients who cannot take fluid orally and are in danger of dehydration. The osmotic pressure of this solution must match that of blood to prevent hemolysis or crenation of blood cells. If the osmotic pressure of 100.0 mL saline solution is 7.83 atm at a body temperature of 37.0°C? (R= 0.08206 L atm/mole K or 62.4 L torr/mole K) Partl: What would be the Molarity of the above saline solution ? 0.308 M Part II: What mass of sodium chloride (58.44 g/mol) is needed to produce the above saline solution? 1.80 g
