Question

The average adult male has a total blood volume of 5.0 L. After drinking a few beers, he has a BAC of 0.10. What mass of alcohol is circulating in his blood?

Answer 1

B A C ( Blood Alcohol Content ) of 0.10 means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every dl of blood.
5 L = 50 dl
50 * 0.10 g = 5 g
In his blood is circulating 5 grams of alcohol.

Answer 2

Answer:5 grams of alcohol is circulating in his blood

Step-by-step explanation:

BAC (Blood alcohol content) means that level of alcohol in the blood stream.

Given BAC of an adult male = 0.10 = 0.10 g/100 ml

Total blood volume = 5 L = 5000 ml

MAss of alcohol in 5000 ml of blood:

`(0.10 g)/(100 ml)* 5000 ml=5 g`

5 grams of alcohol is circulating in his blood
