A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter
Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be
- Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood.
- If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.
(a)

Interpretation: The molar concentration of cholesterol in blood of patient needs to be calculated by taking molar mass of cholesterol equal to 386.64 g/mol.
Concept Introduction: The molar concentration or molarity of a substance is number of moles of solute in 1 L of the solution.
Explanation of Solution
The cholesterol count of patient is 214 mg dL-1.
Thus, molar concentration of cholesterol (mol/L) can be calculated as follows:
Here, C is molar concentration, X is cholesterol count and M is molar mass.
Substitute the values,
Therefore, molar concentration of cholesterol is
(b)

Interpretation: The molality of cholesterol in the patient’s blood needs to be estimated.
Concept Introduction: The molality of a substance is number of moles of a substance in 1 kg of solvent.
Explanation of Solution
It is related to molarity of solution or molar concentration of solution as follows:
Here, M is molarity,
In the given case, solute is cholesterol and solvent is blood. The relation between molarity (molar concentration) and molality of solution is as follows:
Here, molarity of solution is
Substitute the values,
Thus, the molality of solution is
(c)

Interpretation: The volume of blood required to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction: To calculate the volume of blood requited for given mass of cholesterol, unitary method can be used. Here, mass of cholesterol in 1 dL of blood is given thus, volume of blood required for given mass of cholesterol can be calculated.
Explanation of Solution
The cholesterol count of patient is 214 mg dL-1. Thus, in 1 dL of blood there is 214 mg of cholesterol.
The volume of blood required for 8.10 g of cholesterol will be:
Therefore, volume of blood required is

- For each scenario below, select the color of the solution using the indicator thymol blue during the titration. When you first add indicator to your Na2CO3solution, the solution is basic (pH ~10), and the color is ["", "", "", "", ""] . At the equivalence point for the titration, the moles of added HCl are equal to the moles of Na2CO3. One drop (or less!) past this is called the endpoint. The added HCl begins to titrate the thymol blue indicator itself. At the endpoint, the indicator color is ["", "", "", "", ""] .
