Chapter 15, Problem 15.79CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of cholesterol in $5\text{ L}$ of blood has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Cholesterol belongs to the family of steroid with 3 six-membered rings and 1 five-membered ring. It is produced in liver and found in body tissues. Serum cholesterol is a parameter that tells about the amount of low-density and high-density lipoproteins in blood.

The formula used to calculate the strength of solution is as follows:

  $\text{Strength}=\left(\left(\text{molarity}\right)\left(\text{molecular mass}\right)\right)$
