If you are given a 7 mOsM solution of sodium chloride what is the percent solution?
7mOsM means 3.5 M as osmolarity is equal to the multiplication of dissociation factor to the molarity.
Percent by mass = mass of NaCl / total mass of solution × 100%
Volume of solution is assumed to be 1 litre.
Mass of nacl = no of moles × molar mass = 3.5 × 58.44 = 205 gms.
Mass of the solution = density × volume.
Density of solution / water is 1.2 gm/ml
= 1.2 × 1000 = 1200 gms.
Percent concentration = mass of NaCl / mass of solution ×100
= 205/1200 ×100% = 17.08%
