Aperson suffering from hyponatremia has a sodium ion concentration in the blood of 0.116 m and a total blood volume of 4.7 l . part a what mass of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood to bring the sodium ion concentration up to 0.139 m, assuming no change in blood volume?

Explanation:

Normal moles of = volume × normal concentration

                              = 4.7 × 0.139 = 0.6533 mol

Moles of in hyponatremia blood = volume × hyponatremia concentration

                              = 4.7 × 0.116 = 0.5452 mol

Moles of NaCl to be added = moles of extra needed

                            = 0.6533 mol - 0.5452 mol = 0.1081 mol

Mass of NaCl = moles × molar mass of NaCl

                        = 0.1081 mol × 58.443

                        = 6.317g

                        = 6.32 g (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that mass of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood is 6.32 g.                    

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
