Understanding D50W:
* D50W stands for "Dextrose 50% in Water". This means that 50% of the solution's weight is dextrose.
* Dextrose is another name for glucose, a type of sugar.
Calculations:
1. Calculate the weight of the solution: Assume the density of D50W is approximately 1 g/ml. Therefore, 275ml of D50W weighs 275 grams.
2. Calculate the weight of dextrose: Since D50W is 50% dextrose, multiply the total weight by 0.50: 275 grams * 0.50 = 137.5 grams
Answer: There are 137.5 grams of dextrose in 275ml of D50W.
