Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 24.67E
Acetone is present in the patient’s blood.
The number of ketone molecules in
Explanation of Solution
It is given that the molecular weight of ketone is
The starting member of ketone family is acetone.
The molecular formula of acetone is
The molar mass of hydrogen is
The molar mass of oxygen is
The molar mass of carbon is
Therefore, the molecular weight of acetone is calculated as shown below.
The molecular weight of ketone present in patient’s blood is approximately equal to that of acetone. Therefore, acetone is present in the patient’s blood.
It is given that the concentration of ketone in
Therefore, the concentration of ketone in
The conversion of
Therefore, the concentration of ketone in
Therefore, the concentration of ketone in
The number of acetone molecules in
Where,
•
The concentration of ketone in
The molecular weight of ketone is
The value of
Substitute the value of concentration of ketone in
Therefore, the number of ketone molecules in
Acetone is present in the patient’s blood and the number of ketone molecules in
