An individual suffering from high cholesterol level in her blood has 242 mg of cholesterol per 100 ml of blood. if the total blood volume of the individual is 5.2 l how many grams of total blood does the individual's body contain?

Respuesta :

242 mg of cholesterol is present in 100 mL of blood. If the total blood present in a body is 5.2 L The total body cholesterol can be calculated as follows:

First calculate concentration as follows:

C=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{242 mg}{100 mL}=\frac{242 g}{100 L}=2.42 g/L

Now, total volume is 5.2 L thus, mass will be calculated as follows:

m=C×V=2.42 g/L×5.2 L=12.584 g

Thus, the grams of blood cholesterol in human body will be 12.584 g.
