The total molarity of an intravenous solution is given on the label as 151 mEq/L. The osmolarity of this solution is also 151 mEq/L.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molarity and osmolarity of an intravenous solution can be the same if all of the solutes in the solution completely dissociate into ions. In this scenario, each ion contributes to both the molarity and the osmolarity of the solution in the same way, resulting in the same value for both. Therefore, it is possible for the total molarity and osmolarity of the intravenous solution to be 151 mEq/L.
