If young children have an illness that causes diarrhea and vomiting, they can quickly become seriously ill from dehydration and the loss of sodium and other vital chemicals. Rehydration solutions contain sodium along with chemicals to help the intestine absorb the sodium. The table below lists the solutes in a rehydration solution that is designed for children. Calculate the mass/volume percent concentration of the potassium citrate in the rehydration solution? Calculate the concentration of sodium citrate in parts per million?   Calculate the molar concentration of dextrose?   Calculate the molar concentration of sodium ions from the sodium citrate?   Calculate the total molar concentration of sodium ions in the entire solution?
