NaCl (gmw=58g, valence=1)
Grams of equivalent weight = 58/1 = 58grams
so 1EQ/ 58grams=1
Normality is expressed in Eq/L
With 1% defined as 1 gram per 100 ml, 85% is 85 grams per 100 ml
(1EQ/58grams) * (85grams/100ml) * (1000ml/L) = 85000eq/5800L = 14.655 or 15N
Although I don't think you were supposed to do 85%, for clinical chemistry it should be something more like 0.85% or the solution would be too hypertonic. In which case it would be
(1eq/58grams)*(0.85grams/100ml)* (1000ml/L) = 850eq/5800L = 0.14655 or 0.15N

Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
What term would you use to describe the tonicity of 0.9 percent NACL for red blood cells?
Isotonic
What is the difference between normal saline and physiologic saline?
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
What is the chemical formula for normal saline?
Saline is nothing more than salt water. Salt is NaCl. Normal saline is a 0.9% solution of NaCl in H2O.
Why saline in IV bags has 0.9 percent NaCl concentration?
More simply, normal (0.9%) saline contains the same concentration of salt as your body fluids. For this reason, it is the most commonly used saline solution, for IV'sor other uses such as flushing wounds, eye baths, etc. "Normal" silane is referred as 0.9% ( 1% commonly. As in "get me some 1%, stat!) NaCl in water, but that's based only on Hartog Jakob Hamburger's 1882 study of red cell lysis. The correct concentration of salt in the human blood is 0.6%. Still, it's easier to say "1% solution" because it's easy to remember.
Saline is what percent NaCl?
If you think to an isotonic solution the concentration is 0,9 g NaCl/100 g solution.
An example of an isotonic solution?
Normal Saline Solution, or anything that contains 0.9% NaCl

What is nacl drug used for?
- preparation of isotonic or other saline solutions- nose disinfection- as a salt bath
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
Is normal saline with 20 percent kcl a hypertonic solution?
Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.
Calculate the isotonic coefficient for NaCl if a 07M of NaCl solution equaled the hemolysis of14M glucose solution?
i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2
What is physiodose NaCl 9?
This a saline solution with the concentration of 0,9 g NaCl/100 mL distilled water. This is a isotonic solution; the meaning is that the osmotic pressure of the this solution is equal to the osmotic pressure of the blood serum.
What term would you use to describe the tonicity of 0.9 percent NACL for red blood cells?
Isotonic
How does 09 percent NaCl work?
The solution of NaCl with the concentration 0,9 % is considered normal saline; the osmotic pressure is equal to the pressure in the cells.
Why is NSS or 0.85 percent NaCl solution used in emulsifying the bacterial smear?
0.85% nacl sol or normal saline solution is used as it is an isotonic solution which will emmulsify bacterial cells and dont cause any injury ( injury due to osmotic gradient in which cell can shrink or swell/burst ). solution upto 0.98% can be used.
Use of Sodium chloride inj 0.9 percent?
D5 0,3 NaCl is recommended to add to the body water, sucrose and ions as Na+ and Cl-.
