1. (4pts) The vial of magnesium chloride pictured here contains magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2•6H2O) MW 203.
a. Calculate the osmolarity of 20% w/v magnesium chloride hexahydrate solution.
Answer:
Mass of magnesium chloride hexahydrate = 20 % of total solution i.e. 20 g/100 mL
Molar mass of magnesium chloride hexahydrate =
(1 x 24.31 g/mol Mg) + (2 x 35.45 g/mol Cl) + (6 x 18.02 g/mol H2O)
= 203.31 g/mol
No. of moles of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in 100 mL of solution = (20 g/203.31 g/mol) i.e. 0.0983 mol
Converting moles per liter to calculate the osmolarity:
No. of moles of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in 1 L of solution =
0.0983 mol x (1000 mL/100 mL) = 9.83 mol
Osmolarity = 9.83 mol/L (i.e. number of moles of solute per liter of solution)
b. Is the solution in the vial pictured here hypo-osmotic, iso-osmotic, or hyper-osmotic? (Use the point of reference of 300mosm/L, which is approximately the osmolarity of blood, as your point of reference.)
Answer:
Comparing the osmolarities:
The osmolarity of magnesium chloride solution of 9.83 mol/L or 9.83 x 1000 = 9830 mosm/L.
As 9830 mosm/L is higher than 300 mosm/L, the magnesium chloride solution is hyper-osmotic.
2. (10pts) This solution of magnesium chloride is too hypertonic/hyper-osmotic to be infused directly into a peripheral IV line – max osmolarity guideline = 900mosm/L. The pharmacist adds 20ml from this vial to a 250ml bag of D5W. Use total volume =270ml for calculations.
a. Calculate the concentration of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in the prepared solution. Express as % w/v.
Answer:
Calculating the amount of MgCl2•6H2O which was added in the 270 ml solution:
MgCl2.6H2O amount = 20 ml x (200 mg/ml)
= 4000 mg
Calculating the total volume of 270 ml solution and MgCl2.6H2O concentration in the final solution:
MgCl2.6H2O Concentration = (MgCl2.6H2O amount [mg] / total volume of solution [mL]) x 100
MgCl2.6H2O Concentration = (4000 mg / 270 ml) x 100
= 14.81 % w/v
Thus, the concentration of MgCl2.6H2O in the prepared solution = 14.81% w/v.
b. Calculate the concentration of dextrose in the prepared solution. Express as % w/v.
Answer:
Calculating dextrose amount in the solution.
Magnesium chloride solution (20 ml) was added to a bag of D5W (250 ml). It implies that magnesium chloride solution is 20 ml and D5W is 250 ml in the final solution.
Dextrose concentration in D5W = 5% w/v, thus, 5 g dextrose in 100 ml D5W.
Dextrose amount in 250 ml D5W = (5 g/100 ml) x 250 ml
= 12.5 g
Calculating the dextrose...
