I have a solution containing different chloride salts. I know the amount of salts (NaCl, KCl, MgCl2 etc.) being dissolved in 1 L of distilled water. How to calculate the salinity of that particular solution?
Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt , is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. With molar masses of 22.99 and 35.45 g/mol respectively, 100 g of NaCl contains 39.34 g Na and 60.66 g Cl. To make a 0.1M NaCl solution, you could weigh 5.844g of NaCl and dissolve it in 1 litre of water; OR 0.5844g of NaCl in 100mL of water OR make a 1:10 dilution of a 1M sample.Normal saline is 0.9% saline. This means that there is 0.9 G of salt (NaCl) per 100 ml of solution, or 9 G per liter. This solution has 154 mEq of Na per liter."Normal saline" is an aqueous solution of 0.9% NaCl. This means that normal saline can be prepared by measuring out 0.9 g of NaCl and diluting this amount of NaCl to a final volume of 100 ml's in water. This would be the same as diluting 9 g of NaCl to a final volume of 1 liter in water. They are parenteral solutions containing various concentrations of sodium chloride in water for injection intended for intravenous administration. For 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, each 100 mL contains 450 mg sodium chloride in water for injection. Electrolytes per 1000 mL: sodium 77 mEq; chloride 77 mEq.
Rk Naresh Thank you sir for your valuable response. But the question was different. Is there any formula to calculate the salinity of a salt solution (Containing NaCl, Kcl, MgCl2 etc.)?
