∙ 8y agoIf not controlled carefully, the resulting solution could be hypertonic or hypotonic, instead of being isotonic. This would cause pain at the infusion site, and would destroy cells that it came in contact with.

∙ 8y agoThe amount of solute relative to solvent is what determines concentration. Therefore, solute is the property of solutions on which the concept of concentration relies.
Liquids given intravenously are solutions in water so they are mixtures not compounds.
Isotonic
Neutral solutions.
The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
steam or super heated water
Penicillin comes in tablets, intravenous solutions and intramuscular injections.
Concentration is very variable in solutions.
10% lipid emulsions
The amount of solute relative to solvent is what determines concentration. Therefore, solute is the property of solutions on which the concept of concentration relies.
Only isotonic saline (0.9%) is recommended for use with blood components. Other isotonic electrolyte solutions that have been approved by the FDA for this purpose may be used.Other commonly used intravenous solutions will cause varying degrees of difficulty when mixed with red cells. For example, 5% dextrose in water will hemolyze red cells. Intravenous solutions containing calcium, such as Lactated Ringer's solution, can cause clots to form in blood.
Liquids given intravenously are solutions in water so they are mixtures not compounds.
There are many things that can be given intravenously, with the most common being lactors ringer and saline. Volume expanders, blood-based products, blood substitutes, medications and nutrition may also be given intravenously.
Isotonic
It depends upon amount of solute if it in low concentration then solutions are Dilute solutions if it is very lw then solutions are very Dilute solutions.
Concentration because solutions that are the same and temperature wise as well theoretically will have the same concentration
