What is the mass, in grams, of 2.00 L of an intravenous glucose solution with a density of 1.15 g/mL?

• A. 0.575 g
• B. 2300 g
• C. 1150 g
• D. 2.30 g

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: volume of the glucose solution is 2.00 L, and the density is 1.15 g/mL.
2. Convert the volume from liters to milliliters because the density is given in grams per milliliter. Use the conversion factor: \$1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL}\(, so \)2.00 \text{ L} = 2.00 \times 1000 \text{ mL}$.
3. Use the formula relating mass, density, and volume: \(\text{mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume}\).
4. Substitute the values into the formula: \(\text{mass} = 1.15 \text{ g/mL} \times (2.00 \times 1000) \text{ mL}\).
5. Calculate the mass by multiplying the density by the volume in milliliters to find the mass in grams.
