I know the answer for a pharmacy stocks D5W in 500ml bags how mush dextrose in 500ml bag.
need help with how I got the answer
To determine how much dextrose is in a 500ml bag of D5W, we need to know what "D5W" means. "D5W" stands for "dextrose 5% in water," which means that there is 5 grams of dextrose (or glucose) per 100 milliliters of water.
To calculate how much dextrose is in a 500ml bag of D5W:
1. Calculate how many milliliters of dextrose solution are in the bag:
- 500 ml x 5% (or 0.05) = 25 ml of dextrose solution
2. Calculate how many grams of dextrose are in the bag:
- 25 ml x 1 g/1 ml = 25 grams of dextrose
Therefore, there are 25 grams of dextrose in a 500ml bag of D5W.
