Question

A saline solution is administered intravenously to the person suffering from severe dehydration .This is labelled as 10% v/v of NaCl what does it mean​

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume concentration of a solution is expressed as % v/v, which stands for volume per volume. This is used when both chemicals in a solution are liquid.

eg if I dissolve 10mL of table salt, sodium chloride into 90mL of water to make up a total volume of 100 mL of solution then I have made a 10% v/v solution of sodium chloride.
