a patient receives 250 mL of a 4.0% (m/v) amino acid solution twice a day. a) how many grams of amino acids are in 250mL of solution? b) how many grams of amino acids does the patient receive in one day?
For a) I came up w/10g and for b) I came up w/ 20g in 1 day. Is this right or wrong?
Both answers are correct.

To find the answers, you need to calculate the amount of grams of amino acids in the given solution and then multiply it by the number of times the patient receives the solution per day.
a) To calculate the grams of amino acids in 250 mL of a 4.0% (m/v) solution, you can use the equation:
Mass (g) = Volume (mL) × Concentration (% m/v)
Substituting the given values:
Mass (g) = 250 mL × 4.0% = 250 mL × 0.04
Mass (g) = 10 g
So, the patient receives 10 grams of amino acids in 250 mL of solution.
b) To calculate the grams of amino acids the patient receives in one day, you need to multiply the grams of amino acids per solution by the number of times the patient receives the solution per day:
Total grams (g) = Grams per solution (g) × Number of times per day
Total grams (g) = 10 g × 2 times
Total grams (g) = 20 g
Your answers of 10g for part a) and 20g for part b) are correct.
