Why is it important for an IV solution to have salts in it and what would happen if you were given pure water in an IV?

The solution must have the same percentage of water as healthy cells have, or the cells will take in too much water and be damaged/killed.

What is hypotonic salt solution?
It's a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than your body. If you were to drink it, you would loose salts and/or gain water.
Why is it important for an iv solution to have salts in it?
There are a few things that is good about IV solution and salt. The body needs salt and water. Not only that but if someone were to be given plain water, their cells would take in too much water and get damaged or burst and that will damage the body. The salt in the IV solution should be about the same percentage of water and salt as healthy cell.
When seawater evaporates the concentration of salts increases until what?
precipitate out the solution
Is the solution of epsom salts prepared by dissolving magnesium sulfate heptahydrate in water is added to a solution containing sodium lauryl sulfate will a precipitate form?
No. Sodium lauryl sulfate will not form insoluble salts with the magnesium.
Which ellement can replace all other halogens from the solution of their salts?
Fluoirine
Are salts strong electolytes?
Many salts in solution or molten are electrolytes.
Should hypotonic or hypertonic solution be given for hypervolemia?
A hypertonic solution would be given when a patient is deficient in electrolytes or salts and needs to have them replenished.
What is physiological solution?
a physiological solution is a solution that contains salts and other constituents in concentrations similar to physiological media. e.g. Ringer's solution, Tyrod's solution, buffered saline.
What are the uses of carbonic solution?
Carbonic acid solution is considered a respiratory acid because it is exhaled from the lungs as a gas. This solution forms carbonate salts and bicarbonate salts.
What do acids bases and salts have in common?
Acids, Bases, and Salts are all grouped together in a category called electrolytes, which means that a solution of a given substance will conduct electricity.!! :)

Where does salinization occur?
Wherever salts are in solution.
What is meant by normal salts and acid salts?
Normal is not a correct word; some salts have a neutral water solution, pH=7.
How would perspiration which contains salts be classified?
It is a solution.
What is determined by the dissolved salts in water?
Dissolved salts have an influence on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the solution.
Are all minerals electrolytes?
Most salt dissolve in water, then they're electrolytes by forming ions in solution.
