Learning Objectives 8.1 Find the strength of a solution as a ratio, as a fraction, and as a percent. 8.2 Determine the amount of solute in a given amount of solution. 8.3 Determine the amount of solution that would contain a given amount of solute. 8.4 Do the calculations necessary to prepare solutions from pure drugs. 8.5 Do the calculations necessary to prepare solutions for irrigations, soaks, and nutritional feedings. Slide 2 is list of textbook LO numbers and statements

Strength of a Solution (1 of 3)

Strength of a Solution (2 of 3) Solution strength can also be stated without explicit units of measurement. For example, a solution which is 1 part iodine in 2 parts of solution has strength of:

Strength of a Solution (3 of 3) Measure the Amount of Drug (Solute) in either g or mL Measure the Amount of the Solution in mL 1:100 NaCl solution has 1 g NaCl in 100 mL of the solution

Find the Strength (1 of 2) What is the strength of a 500 milliliter solution that contains 50 mL of iodine?

Find the Strength (2 of 2) What is the strength of a 200 milliliter solution that contains 50 g of NaCl?

Find the Amount of Solute in a Given Amount of Solution of Known Strength (1 of 2) How many grams of dextrose would you need to prepare 1000 milliliters of a 5% solution? Amount of solution is 1,000 milliliters.

Find the Amount of Solute in a Given Amount of Solution of Known Strength (2 of 2) Convert 1,000 mL of solution to g of dextrose

Finding the Amount of Solute (1 of 2)

Finding the Amount of Solute (2 of 2) Convert 250 mL solution to ? mL of Creosol

Find the Amount of Solution of Known Strength Containing a Given Amount of Solute (1 of 3) How many milliliters of a 20% magnesium sulfate solution will contain 40 grams of the solute magnesium sulfate? You want to convert the 40 grams of pure drug to milliliters of solution. 40 g = ? mL

Find the Amount of Solution of Known Strength Containing a Given Amount of Solute (2 of 3) In a 20% solution, there are 20 grams of solute per 100 mL of solution. So, the strength is

Find the Amount of Solution of Known Strength Containing a Given Amount of Solute (3 of 3) So, 200 mL of a 20% magnesium sulfate solution contains 40 g of magnesium sulfate.

Chapter Summary (1 of 5) The strength of a solution is the ratio of the amount of solute dissolved in the solution to the total volume of the solution. The strength of a solution may be expressed in the form of a ratio,fraction,or percentage.

Chapter Summary (2 of 5) The amount of solute dissolved in the solution should be expressed in milliliters if the solute is a liquid. The amount of solute dissolved in the solution should be expressed in grams if the solute is a solid or powder. The volume of a solution should be expressed in milliliters. To determine the amount of solute contained in a given amount of a solution of known strength, use the strength as the known equivalence.

Chapter Summary (3 of 5) To determine amount of a solution of known strength containing a given amount of solute, use the strength as the known equivalence. The strength of a particular solution may be written in many different forms. The following strengths are all equivalent:
