Question

A 1/6 dilution of serum in H2O was made. The glucose result was 4.0 mmol/L. What was the reported result?

A) 24.0 mmol/L
B) 4.0 mmol/L
C) 0.67 mmol/L
D) 1.5 mmol/L

Answer 1

The reported result would be 24.0 mmol/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reported result, we need to consider the dilution factor. A 1/6 dilution means that the original concentration was 6 times higher. So if the result after the dilution is 4.0 mmol/L, the reported result would be 4.0 mmol/L x 6 = 24.0 mmol/L.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 24.0 mmol/L.
