What effect would 10 percent salt solution have on the cells lining the nasal cavity?
The saline solution will be hypertonic to the cells that line the enasal cavity. Since the saline solution has a higher salt concentration than the cells, water will be drawn out of the cells. This will cause the cells to shrink and will also add water to mucous, hence receiving the congestion.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
Who invented the saline solution?
Sydney Ringer invented the saline solution.
What type of solution is saline solution?
Saline is a homogenous solution of salt in water.
What is the mineral found in Saline solution?
Saline solution is a mixture of salt and water.
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%.
What percent of saline will blood cause the solution to become red?
0.35% saline
Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
How do you make a 9 percent saline solution?
To make a 9 percent saline solution, start by preparing a 100 percent salt solution. With a bottle of 100 percent salt water, take 9 percent and dilute with distilled water to make a 9 percent saline solution.
Why is sodium chloride 0.9 percent percent given?
This is a isotonic saline solution.
What is saline solution percent has same osmotic pressure as erythrocytes?
0.9%
Are 0.9 percent saline and 5.0 percent glucose solutions isotonic?
yes it is isotonic solution.
What is Sodium chloride 0.9 percent?
This is an isotonic saline solution; 9 g/L sodium chloride solution in water with added glucose.
Saline is what percent NaCl?
If you think to an isotonic solution the concentration is 0,9 g NaCl/100 g solution.
Are Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent and Normal Saline the same solution?
Sodium chloride 0.9 percent and normal saline are not quite the same solution. While they share the same osmolality, sodium chloride contains more salt.
How many liters of a 20 percent solution of saline should a nurse mix with 10 liters of a 50 percent solution to obtain a mixture that is 40 percent saline?
Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.
How much water must be added to a gallon of 10 percent saline solution to create a 2 percent solution?
There is 1 gallon of 10% solution...There is 0% saline in water...The equation is (0.1)(1) + 0x = 0.02 (x+1)...Answer is: 4 gallons. Hope I helped!!:)
