What is twice normal saline?
Twice normal saline refers to a solution that is twice as concentrated as normal saline, which has a sodium chloride concentration of 0.9%. This higher concentration can be used in medical settings to quickly replenish fluids and electrolytes in patients who are severely dehydrated or experiencing certain medical conditions.
Which are isotonic?
Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.
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.
What appearance would red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 NaCl?
What will happen to a red blood cell that is placed in a solution of 90 percent water and 10 percent salt is that the salt will decrease in volume due to osmosis. Meanwhile the water will enter the red blood cell, making it swell up.
Higher salt concentration outside cell than inside what would happen?
Through the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell would leave the cell in order to equalize the concentration of water relative to salt in and outside the cell. The cell would shrink. Salt is not passing through at all.
Why is it easier to eat a grape than to eat a cracker?
Because grapes are juicy and easier to bite into. Saline crackers are hard and crunchy. :p

How many ppm is normal saline compared to sea water?
Normal saline has approximately 9,000 ppm (parts per million) of dissolved salt, while sea water typically has around 35,000 ppm of dissolved salt. Sea water is therefore more concentrated in salt compared to normal saline.
What is easier to eat a grape or a saltine cracker?
grapes are juice and dont break
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
To investigate and predict what will happen to saline solution?
this is a question my son wrote in homework diary!!!! help
What happens when red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline solution?
The cell will seek homeostasis and attempt to balance itself with its environment. Since the external environment is more saline than the interior of the cell (hypertonic), the cell will lose water in an attempt to decrease the exterior salinity .
Is eye wash distilled water?
Eye wash is usually sterile saline solution so that it does not burn or sting when placed on the eye.
What is the effect of isotonic saline solution on RBC?
Isotonic saline solution has no net effect on red blood cells (RBCs) as it has the same osmolarity as blood. This means that RBCs will neither shrink (crenate) nor swell (lyse) when placed in isotonic saline solution. The solution maintains the normal shape and function of the RBCs.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
Can sterile saline be used interchangeably with injectable saline?
no sterile saline cannot be used because strile saline is different from injectable saline. strile saline is used for irrigating the wound and injectable saline in given intravenously
Can I bring saline solution on an airplane in my carry-on luggage?
Yes, you can bring saline solution in containers of 3.4 ounces or less in your carry-on luggage when flying. It must be placed in a clear, quart-sized plastic bag with your other liquids and gels for security screening.
