The situation basically starts like this, and I've been going about it for 3 nights to no avail.
SITUATION:
Dextrose is a form of sugar (mixture of glucose, C5H12O6, and water) and is usually injected into a patient through intravenous infusion. It is used to treat dehydration, low blood sugar, and insulin shock.
In disasters, especially during earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis, it is very common to have lacking supplies in medicines to treat mass injured patients with lack of means of transportation in delivering fresh supplies.
1. You need to administer 5.00% mass-volume dextrose to a patient; however, the available concentrations are not expressed in mass-volumes, which of the following can be a substitute? Density of glucose = 1.56 g/mL. Density of water = 1g/mL.
Available substitute concentrations:
a. 0.298 M
b. 5.50x10-3 mole fraction glucose
CHOICES:
I. 0.298 M, because they have the same ratio of the amount of glucose and amount of solution
Ii. 5.50 x10-3 mole fraction glucose, because they have the same ratio of the amount glucose and amount of solution
Iii. both i and ii can be substitutes since they they have equivalent ratio of solute and solution with the 5 % mass-volume dextrose
Iv. not enough data is provided
EDIT: I've tried putting hypothetical volumes of dextrose using the given mass-percent, then used it to calculate Molarity, but I'm always a bit off.
