Question

An average human being has about 5.0 L of blood in his or her body. If an average person were to eat 37.7 g of sugar (sucrose, , 342.30 g/mol), and all that sugar were dissolved into the bloodstream, how would the molarity of the blood sugar change

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0220275 M

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters which are going to help in solving this particular Question/problem.

=> Averagely, we have the volume = 5.0 L of blood in human body .

=> Mass of sugar eaten = 37.7 g of sugar (sucrose, 342.30 g/mol).

Therefore, the molarity of the blood sugar change can be calculated as below:

The molarity of the blood sugar change = (1/ volume) × mass/molar mass.

Thus, the molarity of the blood sugar change = (1/5) × 37.7/342.30 = 0.0220275 M.
