Question

A typical glass of wine contains about 21 grams of alcohol. Consider a 101​-pound ​woman, with approximately 6 liters ​(6000 ​milliliters) of​ blood, who drinks two glasses of wine. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. a. If all the alcohol were immediately absorbed into her​ bloodstream, what would her blood alcohol content​ be?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7 gram alcohol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total alcohol in a typical glass is 21 grams

Total number of glass drink by lady = 2 glass

therefore total alcohol drink by lady is (2*21) = 42 gram

volume of blood of lady is 6000 ml

from above information we have

6000 ml volume consist of 42 gram of alcohol

1 ml volume consist of $\frac{42}{6000}$ gram of alcohol

$for\ 100 ml = \frac{42}{6000} \times 100 = 0.7 gram$

100 ml because  blood alcohol content​ (BAC) of​ 0.08g/100mL is driving limit in the U.S.A.
