determine how an excess amount of liquid‚ which was water‚ Gatorade and wine in this case‚ along with an excess amount of solute‚ which was the 7g NaCl pill‚ would affect the kidneys and the osmolarity of urine. Measurements of urine volume‚ specific gravity and chloride concentrations were recorded in order to investigate this. Our hypothesis stated that the volume of urine would increase for all groups other than the group drinking 80 ml of water along with taking a 7g. This portion of the hypothesis
