Question
Human blood contains glucose at a typical concentration of 0.100% (W/V). At this concentration, how many grams of glucose would be found in one liter of human blood?
Answers
You'll need the average density of whole blood. (~1060 Kg/m^3) take 0.100% of this and convert to grams/L.
0.1% w/v means 0.1 g glucose/100 mL blood. Therefore, there will be 1 g glucose in 1000 mL (1L) blood or
0.1 g x (1000 mL/100 mL) = 1 g.
0.1 g x (1000 mL/100 mL) = 1 g.
