To draw fluids out of edematous tissues and into administered solutions
What are the properties of an ideal solution when components are mixed?
- No heat is given off or taken in?
- Volume does not shrink or expand
- Final volume is the sum of the component volumes
Explain Raoult’s Law
Vapor pressure of each volatile constituents is equal to the vapor presure of the pure constituents multiplied by the mole fraction of the solution
What is a real solution?

What is osmosis?
When a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane from a dilute to a high concentration until both sides are equalized
What type of pressure is responsible for the movement of water?
Osmotic pressure
What is the difference between nonelectrolytes and electrolytes in regards to osmotic pressure?
- Nonelectrolytes: Solution contains only molecules, OP varies with concentration of the solute
