Chapter 1, Problem 41QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The milliliters of alcohols present in 3.0 qt of blood plasma at the lower legal limit should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The qt is US liquid quart which is equal to 946.353 mL.

The conversion factor will be used as:

$\frac{\text{1 qt}}{\text{946}\text{.353 mL}}\text{=}\frac{\text{946}\text{.353 mL}}{\text{1 qt}}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The milliliters of alcohols present in 3.0 qt of blood plasma at the higher legal limit should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The qt is US liquid quart which is equal to 946.353 mL.

The conversion factor will be used as:

$\frac{\text{1 qt}}{\text{946}\text{.353 mL}}\text{=}\frac{\text{946}\text{.353 mL}}{\text{1 qt}}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The less amount of millimeter of alcohol should be calculated for the reduced sobriety level for the same 3.0 qt of blood plasma.

Concept introduction:

The reduction in amount of alcohol in blood plasma for the reduced level is calculated by the difference between two legal limits.
