Q. 9.75 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

A $CaC{l}_2$solution is given to increase blood levels of calcium. If a patient receives $0.5 mL$ of a $10\% (m/v)CaC{l}_2$ solution, how many grams of $CaC{l}_2$ were given?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

As a consequence, $0.5g$$CaC{l}_2$ mass is needed.

Step 1: Introduction.

What was determined in your blood or the title of the blood test. Your blood work result's number or measurement. For that test, the normal measurement range.

Step 2: Given data.

Using the mass by volume percent expression, measure the mass of chloride.

$mass/volume percent (m/v)=\frac{mass of soluate }{volume of solution}\times 100\%$

A patient is given $5.0 mL$of $CaC{l}_2$ to raise calcium levels in their blood. $CaC{l}_2$ solution mass/volume percent $(m/v)=10\% (m/v)$, which is $10 g/mL$.

Step 3: Explanation:

In the provided phrase, substitute the above value.

$mass/volume percent (m/v)=\frac{mass of soluate }{volume of solution}\times 100\%$

$10\%=\frac{mass of soluate}{5.0 mL}\times 100\%$

$Mass of solute=0.5 g$

As an outcome, the mass of $CaC{l}_2$ used is $0.5 g$.
