Question

A 35% dextrous solution (35 mg per 100 mL of solution) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 1.17 L of the solution is given over a 10-hour period. what is the flow rate in dextrous per hour

Answer 1

The flow rate in dextrous solution is 0.117 litres per hour

Explanation:

Given:

The volume of fluid which passes per unit time = 1.17 Litres

Time Period = 10 hour

To Find:

The Flow rate per hour = ?

Solution:

Flow rate is defined as rate at which the "{volume of fluid which passes per unit time"

Here the Flow rate is =
`\frac{\text{volume of fluid which passes per unit time}}{ time period}`

On substituting the values

The Flow rate is =
`(1.17)/(10)`

The flow rate is 0.117 litres per hour

Thus 0.117 litres of dextrous solution flows per hour.
