A patient receives 3.2 L of glucose solution intravenously (IV). If 100. mL of the solution contains 5.0 g of glucose (carbohydrate), how many kilocalories did the patient obtain from the glucose solution?

Question

*If anyone could help me with this, please show your work so I can understand how you came to your answer =)

Answer 1

How much glucose is in the 3.2 L? That's
5.0 g glucose x (3,200 mL/100 mL) = ? g glucose.
Then each g glucose has 4 kcal.
You finish.

Answer 2

802.4

Answer 3

1L = 1000 ml
3.2L = (1000x3.2)ml = 3200 ml
100 ml solution contain 5.0 g of glucose
3200 ml solution contai( 5.0g x 3200ml)/100 ml
= 160 g
Therefore,
Mass is 160g
We know that the energy value of carbohydrate in kcal is 4
So, 160g x 4kCal/g
= 640 kCal
