Chapter 13, Problem 140AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The moles of glucose per ml of blood sugar, total number of moles, and grams of glucose in blood before and after the consumption of glucose are to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The number of moles of a substance is equal to the ratio of mass of the substance to the molecular weight of the substance. It is expressed as

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, $n$ is the number of moles, $m$ is the given mass, and $M$ is the molar mass.

The relationship between liters and milliliters can be expressed as

$\text{1 L}\text{=}1000\text{ mL}$

To convert liters to milliliters, the conversion factor is $\frac{1000\text{ mL}}{\text{1 L}}$.
