Normal saline
0.9g/100ml
The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water
Specific gravity
Dealing with 2 concentrations
Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2
Dealing with 3 concentrations
Alligation

Osmolarity mOsmol/L =
Wt of substance (g/L)
——————- X (#of particles) X 1,000
MW (g/mole)
-always needs to be normalized to a volume of 1L
Isotonicity equation, E =
(MW)(1.8)
i= dissociation factor, # of particles over 1, add 0.8
Mols =
g/MW
