Question

A 15.0 mL urine from a dehydrated patient has a density of 1.019g/mL. What is the mass of the sample, reported in mg?

Answer 1

Mass of sample in mg = 15,285 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of urine sample = 15 ml

Density of sample = 1.019 g/ml

FInd:

Mass of sample in mg

Computation:

Mass = density x volume

Mass of sample in mg = Volume of urine sample x Density of sample

Mass of sample in mg = 1.019 x 15

Mass of sample in mg = 15.285 gram

Mass of sample in mg = 15.285 x 1,000

Mass of sample in mg = 15,285 mg
