Best Answer

"The human body contains many salts, of which sodium chloride (AKA common table salt) is the major one, making up around 0.4 per cent of the body's weight at a concentration pretty well equivalent to that in seawater. So a 50kg person would contain around 200g of sodium chloride - around 40 teaspoons. Since we lose salt whenever we sweat, it has to be continually replaced."

Answer 2

All salts present in human or any other animal are in ionic form as salts dissociate in water . Our body contain 1% salts in ionic form . This includes only inorganic salts .

This is a very nonspecific question, but concentration is just the amount of solute in a solvent. Typically this is expressed in terms of M (molarity) in moles per liter or just in grams per liter.

You also should state of which salt the concentration is given.

The third, though not preferable way is in % (grams salt per 100 grams of solution).

In terms of the salt concentration OUTSIDE the cell (in the medium), 0.15M NaCl would retain the normal condition of the red blood cell.

Hope you liked it! :D

They are equal in salt concentration otherwise the blood cells would either shrink or swell.
