6. Chemical Quantities & Aqueous Reactions / Molarity / Problem 5

A concentration of potassium ions below 2.5×10–3 M in the blood can already be life-threatening. If the blood volume is 5.0 L, calculate the mass of potassium chloride needed to increase the potassium ions from 2.5×10–3 M to a safe level of 4.5×10–3 M. Assume there is no change in blood volume.
