Question

You see in the back room of the hospital that has two boxes containing two different concentrations of morphine-sulfate NaCl I.V. dialysis bags. One box has bags of 0.8% NaCl, while the other box has bags of 0.6% NaCl. Which bag has the lowest amount of solute?

Answer 1

Answer: less NaCl in the 0.6% solution bag

Explanation:

1. assume equal concentration of morphine sulphate (mg amounts anyway)

2. Assume both concentrations are either w/w or w/v

3. assume bags are of equal volume

4. 0.8% solute > 0.6% solute
