Step-by-step explanation:
A patient receives 100 mL of a 25 % m/v mannitol solution every hour. We have to find the mass in grams of mannitol that the pacient is receiving in 1 hour. We can use the formula of the mass/volume percent to find the answer to our problem.
% m/v = mass of solute in g/(volume of solution in mL) * 100 %
We know the concentration of the solution and we have the volume of solution in mL, so we can solve the formula for the mass of solute and get the answer to the problem.
25 % m/v = mass of solute in g/100 mL * 100 %
mass of solute in g = 25 * 100/100 g
mass of solute in g = 25 g
Answer: In 1 hour the patient receives 25 g of mannitol.
