What is the osmolarity of her body fluids how much solute


How do i use freezing point and volume markers?

Problem:

A patient has the following volumes of distribution:

deuterium oxide: 40 liters
inulin: 13 liters
Evans blue: 2.8 liters

Her plasma shows a freezing point depression of 0.53 degrees C. For an ideal solution, a 1 OsM solution depresses the freezing point 1.86 degrees C.
