Question

A 5% destroys solution is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 2.64 L of the solution is given over a 19-hour period. What is the flow rate in units of mL/hr?

Answer 1

Answer:

The flow rate is 138.95 mL per hour.          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Volume of solution = 2.64 L

1 L = 1000 mL

Volume of solution in mL =

$2.64\times 1000 = 2640\text{ ml}$

Time period = 19 hour

Unit rate of flow =

$=\dfrac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Time period}}\\\\=\dfrac{2640}{19}\\\\=138.95\text{ mL per hour}$

Thus, the flow rate is 138.95 mL per hour.
