What is the mass of a glucose solution that fills a 0.500-L intravenous bottle If the density of the glucose solution is 1.15g/mL?

Answer 1

What is the mass of a glucose solution that fills a 0.500-L intravenous bottle, if the density of the glucose solution is 1.15 g/mL?

**Solution:**

Density value means, that every mL of glucose solution weights 1.15 grams. Then, 0.500 L of glucose solution will weight:

$$\mathrm{m} = \rho \times V = 1.15 \, \mathrm{g/mL} \times (0.500 \times 10^3) \, \mathrm{mL} = 575 \, \mathrm{g}$$

(Where $\rho$ means density in g/mL, V means volume in mL).

**Answer:**

0.500 L of glucose solution weights 575 grams.
