Chapter 13: Q. 13.51 (page 462)

Kate's blood volume is 3.9L. Before treatment, if her blood glucose was 178mg/dL, how many grams of glucose were in her blood?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The concentration of glucose in the blood is6.942grams.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Kate's blood volume is 3.9L.
  • Blood glucose level was 178mg/dL.
02

Unit conversion

We must convert units before calculating blood glucose levels:

  • milligrams to grams
  • 1milligram=0.001grams (or) 10-3grams
  • deciliter (dL) to litre (L).
  • 1liter (L) =10deciliter (dL)

03

Solution

The concentration of glucose in the blood is:

(3.9L)x(178x10-3g/dL)x(10dL/L)=6.942grams
