Answer to Question #289332 in Biochemistry for lila

Question

How do you make 0.9% Saline from a Sodium chloride solution (5M in H2O)?

Answer 1

Divide it by the volume of water and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. For example, to make 100 milliliters of normal saline solution, which is a 0.9% solution, you need nine grams of salt. If you need a pint of solution, you should add 2.9 tablespoons of salt. Measure the salt and add it to the water.
