How many grams of dextrose are in 50ml NS solution

1 answer

The concentration of dextrose in NS (Normal Saline) solution can vary, but a commonly used concentration is 5% dextrose.

This means that 5ml of the NS solution contains 5g of dextrose.

To find the amount of dextrose in 50ml of NS solution, we can set up a proportion:

5g dextrose / 5ml NS = x g dextrose / 50ml NS

Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:

(5g dextrose) * (50ml NS) / (5ml NS) = x g dextrose

x ≈ 50g

Therefore, there are approximately 50 grams of dextrose in 50ml of NS solution.
