A patient receives 3.3 L of glucose solution intravenously (IV). If 100. mL of the solution
(carbohydrate), how many kilocalories did the patient obtain from the glucose solution?
Express the energy to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

660kcal

Explanation:

The question is missing the concentration of the glucose solution. Standard glucose concentration for IV solution is 5% or 5g of glucose every 100mL of solution.  

We need to determine how many grams of glucose are there inside the solution. The number of glucose in 3.3L solution will be:  

3.3L * (1000mL / L) * (5g/100mL)= 165 g.

If glucose will give 4kcal/ g, then the total calories 165g glucose give will be: 165g * 4kcal/ g= 660kcal.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
