Question

The heart of a resting adult pumps blood at a rate of 5.00 L/min. (a) Convert this to cm3/s . (b) What is this rate in m3/s ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The Liter, m3, and cm3 are the units of volume while the minute and second are the units of time. 

The conversion factor used to convert volume are:

1 m3=1000 L1 L=1000 cm3

The conversion factor used to convert the time is:

1 min = 60 s

 

Step 2

(a) Now converting the 5.00 L/min to cm3/s

Rate=5.00 L/min×1000 cm31 L×1 min60 s=5000 cm360 s=83.33 cm3/s

So the rate in cm3/s will be 83.33 cm3/s
