Answer:
Lactic acidosis occurs when there is greater than 1.60 g in 4445 mL of blood
Explanation:
A normal blood lactic acid level is 0.5-1 mmol/L.
Mild to moderately elevated level of blood lactic acid known as hyperlactatemia occur when the range is between 2-4 mmol/L without metabolic acidosis.
Lactic acidosis occurs with blood lactic acid levels of > 4 mmol/L
Molar mass Lactic acid, C₃H₆O₃ = 90 g/mol
Mass 4 mmol lactic acid = 0.004 mol * 90 g/mol = 0.36 g
Mass of lactic acid in 1 litre or 1000 mL of blood = 0.36 g
Mass of lactic acid in 4445 mL of blood = 0.36 g * (4445/1000)
<em>Mass of lactic acid in 4445 mL of blood = 1.60 g</em>
